Moroccan census

The Moroccan Census of the population, officially named the general census of the population and the habitat (RGPH), is a census that takes place every ten years in the kingdom. It is carried out under the responsibility of the High Planning Commission.

History

In Morocco under French protectorate or Spanish protectorate, counts were made irregularly from 1921 to 1951.[1]

In 1960 (under Mohammed V), soon after the country gained independence, the first demographic census proper of the country was conducted. Five others followed, separated by nearly ten years: in 1971, 1982 and 1994 (under Hassan II), then in 2004 and 2014[2] (under Mohammed VI). Thus, since the 2000s, the national population census, entitled "general census of the population and the habitat" (RGHP), has become more strictly decennial.
