The issue of inequality has known a wide debate recently in Morocco. It is considered as one of the most outstanding obstacles to the development of the country.
These inequalities constitute an important source of regional imbalance in the whole field, including health, specifically the field of disability. The aim of this paper is to develop a map of disability in Morocco while evaluating its socioeconomic determinants taking into consideration the spatial context. The data are taken from the 2014 GCPH. Our results suggest that the phenomenon of disability is a geographical phenomenon since it is unequally distributed over the Moroccan territory. Our analyzes also showed that the level of education, the participation rate, the type of housing and the size of the household have an impact on the prevalence of disability. We provide geographic targeting policies to reduce regional disparities in term of disability.
