Its ultimate aim is to prov­ide a solid empirical and conceptual basis for the fonnulation of sound pol­icies for the implementation of a balanced, synchronized development progran. The chief task of the present work is to address the situation in Morocco following the colonial experience. Population and migratory patterns are analyzed within this context to detennine their role in the creation of the present situation of disequilibrium.
