Egypt’s struggling job market is a “blessing in disguise” for the country’s budding entrepreneurial scene, as more people are creating their own jobs, Mostafa Amin writes for the World Bank’s blog. Amin — who co-founded news platform Egyptian Streets, startup directory Wassel, and delivery-based bakery Breadfast — says that, while the country’s brain drain is undeniable, new talents are constantly emerging. “Egypt is full of resources and opportunities. Education needs to be reformed and improved, and some social aspects need a revamp. But this market is ready for entrepreneurs and is well worth the effort.”
