A Literature Review on The Social and Solidarity Economyas A Lever for The Professional Integration of Young Graduates: Comparative Studies of Cases from Morocco and Quebec

This scientific communication explores the role of the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) in the professional integration of young graduates, focusing on the cases of Morocco and Quebec. SSE, representing solidarity and sustainability, constitutes an authentic alternative in addressing youth unemployment and the skills mismatch. In Quebec, where SSE accounts for 8% of GDP, programs such as Youth Employment Centers have demonstrated their effectiveness by providing training and support services. Although SSE is still emerging in Morocco, initiatives like IDMAJ show promise, highlighting the need to move beyond symbolic employment and bridge the skills-market gap. The full potential of SSE can be realized through mechanisms such as public-private partnerships, tailored training programs, and a supportive legal framework. Morocco’s SSE ecosystem, even in its early stages, can benefit from Quebec’s experience, including youth cooperatives, to strengthen this developing sector. Overall, SSE appears to be a viable pathway for enhancing the professional integration of young people, offering opportunities for knowledge transfer and collaborative initiatives between Morocco and Quebec.
