About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Morocco by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Morocco. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Morocco by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Morocco. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Morocco.

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.

Sex ratio at birth (male births per female births) in Morocco was reported at 1.047 in 2023, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Morocco - Sex ratio at birth (male births per female births) - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on July of 2025.

As of 2022, children aged 10-14 years constituted the largest age group in Morocco, amounting to approximately 3.2 million individuals. Of these, around 1.63 million were boys and 1.56 million were girls. The country had a generally youthful population. For instance, the group aged 70-74 years accounted for a total of only 894,000 people.

Morocco MA: Mortality Rate: Under-5: Male: per 1000 Live Births data was reported at 29.800 Ratio in 2016. This records a decrease from the previous number of 30.800 Ratio for 2015. Morocco MA: Mortality Rate: Under-5: Male: per 1000 Live Births data is updated yearly, averaging 36.800 Ratio from Dec 1990 (Median) to 2016, with 5 observations.

Morocco MA: Mortality Rate: Under-5: Male: per 1000 Live Births data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Morocco – Table MA.World Bank: Health Statistics. Under-five mortality rate, male is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn male baby will die before reaching age five, if subject to male age-specific mortality rates of the specified year.; ; Estimates Developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, UN DESA Population Division) at www.childmortality.org.; Weighted Average; Given that data on the incidence and prevalence of diseases are frequently unavailable, mortality rates are often used to identify vulnerable populations. Moreover, they are among the indicators most frequently used to compare socioeconomic development across countries. Under-five mortality rates are higher for boys than for girls in countries in which parental gender preferences are insignificant. Under-five mortality captures the effect of gender discrimination better than infant mortality does, as malnutrition and medical interventions have more significant impacts to this age group. Where female under-five mortality is higher, girls are likely to have less access to resources than boys.

As of 2020, almost 60 percent of Morocco's adult population was married. Moreover, men were more likely to be single compared to women, with shares of 40 percent and 28 percent, respectively. Widowed people were, on the other hand, predominantly women.

BackgroundMalignant diseases have been believed to be more common in some areas of Eastern Morocco, but until now, cancer patterns have not been reported for this region. In this paper we present for the first time the cancer prevalence analysis in Eastern Morocco.MethodsCross-sectional study carried out among all patients diagnosed and/or treated with cancer at the Hassan II Regional Oncology Center (ROC) since it was established in October 2005 until December 2012. The ROC is the only hospital specialized in cancer care in Eastern Morocco.ResultsA total of 8,508 cases of cancer were registered among residents in Eastern Morocco, with a female to male ratio of 2.1. The mean age at diagnosis was 53.9 ± 15.2 years (median age = 53 years). Thus, unlike in Western countries, cancer in Eastern Morocco afflicts younger population. The areas of Eastern Morocco did not differ significantly by mean age at diagnosis (p = 0.061). However, these regions differed significantly by sex ratio (p < 0.001). The highest sex ratio was observed in Figuig, with a female to male ratio of 3.1 (75.4% of the registered case were females), followed respectively by Taourirt, Oujda-Angad, Berkane, Nador-Driouch and Jerada. Clear variation in the distribution of cancer types between areas of Eastern Morocco was observed, both in males and females (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the areas of Eastern Morocco differed significantly by cancer prevalence (p < 0.001). The highest age-standardized five-year prevalence proportion was observed in Oujda-Angad with 420.2 per 100,000, followed respectively by Berkane (311.4), Jerada (287.8), Taourirt (269.3), Nador-Driouch (213.6) and Figuig (194.4). Trends in the five-year prevalence proportions decreased in Oujda-Angad, Berkane and Jerada throughout the study period, while an increasing trend was observed in Nador-Driouch, Taourirt and Figuig.ConclusionsFor the first time, our study presents the pattern and distribution of diagnosed cancers in Eastern Morocco. Our study illustrates substantial differences in cancer patterns between areas of Eastern Morocco. These findings are important for cancer control and highlight the need to develop program aiming at controlling and preventing the spread of major cancer sites in Eastern Morocco, particularly in areas with increased cancer prevalence rates.
