Egypt\u2019s une<\/strong>mployment rate fell \u2014 for the second straight<\/strong> quarter <\/strong>\u2014 0.1 percentage point from 4Q 2024<\/a> to 6.3% in 1Q 2025, according to data from the state statistics agency Capmas.

(Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links <\/strong>to our background as well as external sources.)<\/p>\n

Labor force growth drives the uptick:<\/strong> The country\u2019s total labor force increased by 1% q-o-q to 33.4 mn people. This was driven by an additional 342k individuals securing jobs in 1Q 2025, while the number of those unemployed decreased by 19k.<\/p>\n

The gender gap persists:<\/strong> Male unemployment came in at 3.6%, down from 3.9% in 4Q 2024 and 4.4% in 1Q 2024. Meanwhile, female unemployment stood at a much higher 16.4%, though it was still down 0.2 percentage points from 4Q 2024 and 0.1 percentage point from the same quarter last year.<\/p>\n

Youth and fresh grads continue to struggle:<\/strong> Those aged 15-29 accounted for 58.6% of total unemployed individuals, down from 64.6% in 4Q 2024. Capmas doesn\u2019t provide an official rate of youth unemployment.<\/p>\n

Rural areas lead the recovery:<\/strong> Unemployment in rural Egypt dropped to 3.6% from 4.5% in 4Q 2024 and down a full percentage point y-o-y. Meanwhile, urban unemployment expanded to 9.8% in 1Q 2025, up from 8.9% during the last quarter and 0.4 percentage points above the same period last year.<\/p>\n

The self-employment market continues to grow, with salaried workers declining as a <\/strong>proportion of the <\/strong>workforce:<\/strong> Salaried workers made up 69.7% of the total number of those employed \u2014 a 0.3 percentage point quarterly decline \u2014 while the self-employed now make up 22% \u2014 a 1.4 percentage point increase on 4Q 2024. Those working for family businesses fell 0.3 percentage points to 4.0% of the total workforce, while business owners inched up 0.2 percentage points to 4.3%.<\/p>\n

REMEMBER-<\/strong> The unemployment rate excludes working-age individuals who are not actively seeking jobs or are unable to work. The labor force participation rate \u2014 which counts everyone aged 15-64 either in work or actively looking for work \u2014 came in at 45.8% in 1Q 2025, compared to 45.5% in the previous quarter and 43.5% in 1Q 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
