Morocco
|
|
| Objectif de la mission:
La présente étude a pour objet de mesurer, décrire et analyser la monoparentalité au Maroc, sous ses formes visible et invisible, et d’évaluer les vulnérabilités économiques, résidentielles, éducatives et relationnelles auxquelles sont exposés les enfants vivant dans ces configurations familiales en tenant compte des besoins spécifiques selon les différentes étapes du développement de l'enfant, notamment la petite enfance, l'enfance et l'adolescence. Elle doit produire une lecture à la fois statistique et sociologique de la monoparentalité, en distinguant ce qui apparaît au niveau du ménage et ce qui n’est révélé qu’au niveau du noyau familial, cas de la monoparentalité invisible. Cette orientation est cohérente avec le cadre conceptuel de l’ENF 2025, qui analyse la structure familiale à partir des liens de parenté, des statuts matrimoniaux et des noyaux familiaux. |
