Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the relationship between life expectancy, labor force participation, and education with respect to Morocco's economic growth. Methodology: the effects of endogenous and exogenous theories on economic growth are investigated in this study. we exploit the ARDL approach. the dependent variable in our panel data regression methodology was GDP per capita. 23 observations overall from Morocco between 2000 and 2022 are included in our analysis. Secondary data from World Bank databases was used in the study. the main objective of the essay is to present and provide data analysis. Methodological contributions: indicate that life expectancy and economic growth are positively correlated, however there is a negative link between labor force participation and education. Findings: the study's findings imply that Morocco's economic growth initiatives need to be long-term. Therefore, raising the population's standard of living is necessary to assist the implementation of economic growth initiatives. This study's originality may reside in the way it examines how life expectancy, education, and labor force participation affect economic growth. Research/Practical Implications: Morocco's expertise with this subject might offer a distinctive viewpoint to the corpus of empirical study that has already been done.
