Both government and institutions have to take serious steps to control its reasons as the low limited education, corruption, and political instability. These aspects had passed behind negative consequences such as illegal immigration; the increasing rates of crime and violence and social and family disorder which affect badly the society with all its classes. Many families were shattered due to the impact of unemployment. The whole country has to build a shield against that attack.

Economically, “the price of basic food supplies such as meat, grain, rice, and sugar has doubled over the past few years, while simultaneously, real wages are falling” (Goodman). Because of this the Egyptian people became malcontented and frustrated with their lives.

    For what has been a very, very long time, our elected representatives have sought to achieve “full employment” as a national goal….but full employment has been suspect as a possible cause of inflation, and is therefore weakened by decisions of the Federal Reserve, in an attempt to retard inflation. In terms of causes, unemployment has changed; the character, degree of severity, possible solutions of unemployment over the last ten years or so have been reduced, and has morphed in terms of just who is experiencing the unemployment and the suggestions for answering the problem. It has been the traditional fundamental trades, like manufacturing, viewed as part of the shift in the economy towards the new information age model, as workers transition from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, all the while over-coming the obstacles set forth by our own government.

    Evidently, Morocco has been subject to relatively high unemployment since it’s economic development. It’s GDP growth has been slow and mostly stagnant as established in the first part of the project. It also appears that Morocco has a much more stagnate economy that does not see business cycles to the same degree as the U.S. The unemployment rate and growth rate remain around the same. This could be because Morocco is a developing nation without a lot of economic ties to the U.S., but rather has made an effort in involving itself in the European economy. Morocco see’s really short periods of expansion and recession but they are ultimately insignificant when it comes to the lack of economic development. More evidence that Morocco’s economy is

Unemployment does not only have social costs, but economic costs too. The ILO, International Labour organization, defines unemployment as, ''People of working age, who are without work, but available for work and actively seeking employment.'' Therefore implying that it is a state of an individual looking for a job but not having one. Unemployment is one of the key indicators in determining the economic stability of a country; hence governments, businesses and consumers closely monitor it. There are numerous aspects that might lead to unemployment such as labour market conflicts and recessions in the economy. There are two main types of unemployment, which can be focused on, seasonal and cyclical unemployment. Seasonal unemployment occurs when a person is unemployed or their profession is not in demand during a particular season. On the contrary, cyclical unemployment occurs when there is less demand for goods and services in the market so consequently supply needs to be decreased.

This includes policies such as tarrif reductions, which have lead to expansions of many economic sectors, which in turn have reduced inequality for urban and rural skilled men, as well as for women (gender inequality) and has seen increased employment opportunites for women. However, the success of such policies in reducing inequality had its limitations, as at the same time there has been an increase in inequality for unskilled men and for skilled women in rural areas (Chahir & Zaki 2012). It can be said that such trade liberalization policies are partially responsible for Egypt’s declining income inequality as the expansion of certain sectors has reduced gender inequality and inequality between rural and urban areas, while increasing inequality for men who are unskilled and skilled women in rural areas.

  • Poverty In Egypt Essay

    1399 Words  | 3 Pages

    Possible solutions for poverty in Egypt In the past two years, Egypt has experienced enormous protests in which millions of Egyptians went out of their way to rebel against the authoritarian rule that has suppressed them for years. For the first time, Egyptian citizens have decided to take a stand and fight for their legitimate rights in being able to find proper food, to gain freedom and equality. Moreover, this event mainly took place on the 25th of January, 2011; the dictatorship regime that has been ruling for thirty years fell to the ground. We can deduce from the event that this revolution mostly occurred due to the oppression, poverty, social equality, censorship and the aim of democratizing the country (O'Neill). However, one of the most important factors I do believe for the January 25th revolution is the crucial poverty that made normal citizens not able to satisfy their own basic needs; so they did find any way out of their problems except by revolting against this totalitarian regime.
