The unemployment rate <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/80fdf495-1342-4345-a5bd-6387379141bd\">hit 9.6% between April and June last year<\/a> as the partial lockdown of the economy took its toll on the job market.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Egypt had fewer unemployed in 2Q2021 \u2014 and fewer people in the workforce. <\/strong>The labor force participation rate \u2014 which looks at those between the ages of 15 and 64 \u2014 fell to 41.9% from 42.2% in 1Q2021. The size of the workforce fell to 29.1 mn, down from almost 29.3 mn in the previous quarter. <strong>Capmas suggests the declines were the result of covid-19<\/strong>, likely meaning factors at play here include government support to people who lost their jobs during covid, measures in place to curb covid-19, and subdued economic growth thanks to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The unemployment rate among women <\/strong>\u2014 <strong>which is consistently recorded as much higher than that among men <\/strong>\u2014 <strong>came in at its lowest in over a year at 15%<\/strong>, down 0.9 percentage points q-o-q and 1.2 percentage points y-o-y.

Unemployment among men stood at 5.7% in the second quarter, up from 5.6% in the first quarter, its highest since 3Q2020 \u2014 though still well below its 2Q2020 peak of 8.5%.
