Abstract

This chapter explores the school-to-work transition patterns of young people in Egypt over 1998-2018. It updates the findings on labor market insertion trajectories using data from the Egypt Labor Market Panel Surveys (ELMPS). We exploit the 2018 labor market history module to elicit information on early labor market outcomes such as the time to first job and the type of job found after completing education. We also define youth economic vulnerability in the work setting and investigate its symptoms in the Egyptian labor market including various forms of precarious employment (e.g. informality and irregular work). Finally, we shed light on socioeconomic status as one of the potential channels behind this vulnerability. Results reveal a rise in informal employment among youth in recent years and suggest that belonging to a lower socioeconomic bracket increases informality for men and decreases participation for women.
