Abstract

The study aimed at trying to identify the real situation of the 
Egyptian labor market and to monitor its imbalances in recent 
decades. The hypothesis is that "the Egyptian labor market 
suffers from chronic structural imbalances and internal and 
external crises that have negatively impacted its performance." 
The study presented the most important Egyptian labor, 
especially the imbalance between supply and demand in terms of 
numbers and skills, resulting in a rate of unemployment 
coincided with a deficit in many disciplines. The study also 
showed other images of the labor market imbalance (the acute 
duality between the formal and informal types of employment, 
the wage imbalance and labor productivity, and the last 
malfunction of males and females). The imbalances in the labor 
market in Egypt are due to several reasons, the most important of 
which are the lack of coordination between macroeconomic 
policies and labor market conditions, the chronic imbalance in 
both the output structure and income distribution structure, weak 
information efficiency in the labor market, weak institutional 
framework and ineffective labor market legislation, The rise in 
corruption and the rise and spread of monopolies.
