Speakers

Mohamed Kassem, Hesham Okasha, Abla Abdel-Latif, and Ahmed Dawoud

This webinar discussed findings of the detailed analysis conducted by ECES of the status of Egypt’s labor market during the second quarter. The analysis showed that the total number of available “blue collar” jobs increased by 28 percent during Q2 in December 2021, compared to September 2021. Some 58 percent of the increase in jobs between Q1 and Q2 was solely in Cairo, which reveals severe centralization. The highest job demand came from firms in the manufacturing sector (94 percent). Demand was mainly for technicians and production workers, especially in textiles and ready-made garments manufacturing, product coatings, and machine maintenance, followed by marketing, sales, tourism, transportation and delivery jobs.
