Creating jobs for a rapidly growing population has been one of
the most difficult tasks that faced successive Egyptian
governments. After 1976 the population grew at an annual rate of
2.9 percent. Reliable information on the occupational structure was
scarce, partly because of the fast pace at which this structure
changed, of the rural-urban migration, and of the dearth of indepth studies.
