Biagio Speciale, Lecturer at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne Abstract We analyze the effects of the 2011 Egyptian revolution on the relative labor market conditions of women and men using panel information from the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey (ELMPS). We construct our measure of intensity of the revolution – the governorate-level number of martyrs, i.e. demonstrators who died during the protests - using unique information from the Statistical Database of the Egyptian Revolution. We find that the revolution has reduced the gender gap in labor force participation, employment, and probability of working in the private sector, and it has caused an increase in women’s probability of working in the informal sector. The political change has affected mostly the relative labor market outcomes of women in households at the bottom of the pre-revolution income distribution. We link these findings to the litera- ture showing how a relevant temporary shock to the labor division between women and men can have long run consequences on the role of women in society.

  • The Pharaoh's Garbage
    The Pharaoh’s Garbage: Growth and Change in Egypt’s Waste Management System Rachel Leven Mahmoud is 45. The city’s dust and grime is ingrained in the deepening creases of his brow. It is as close to him as his skin. He is our tour guide for the week and we are, at present, in his car, navigating the crowded traffic of Cairo. “Is the city cleaner?,” I ask him as we dodge a woman with her arms full of the next day’s food provisions. I am referring to the changes that have taken place since the waste management of Egypt’s major cities was taken over by multinational corporations. “The streets are cleaner,” he says with little conviction. “Really?” I look out the window at a passing street sweeper, hunched over his broom, in a tired green uniform. If things are really better, I hate to imagine what the streets were like before. An image of the pyramids runs through my mind. The mighty giants of Egypt flanked in trash. “What about the garbage collection?” Mahmoud looks puzzled. “Who collects your garbage? Do the new companies collect it or do the Zabaleen?” “Oh. The Zabaleen. They have always collected it.” “What about the big companies? Aren’t they there? Aren’t they collecting anything?” My tour guide turns to me and gives me a look as if I just asked whether red is really green, or if there really is any such thing as a traffic light in Cairo. “Yes but we don’t use. It is not good for us.” As we pull out of another near crash, I realize his statement probably applies as much to the traffic laws as it does to the new waste management system.

  • Informality, Ngos, and Cairo's Trash Collectors
    Informality, NGOs, and Cairo’s Trash Collectors Economic and Social Welfare Policy in the Authoritarian Egyptian State Caroline Abadeer Submitted under the supervision of Professor Ben Ansell to the University Honors Program at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, in Political Science. May 3, 2011 ABSTRACT The following analysis provides a theoretically informed explanation of how Cairo‘s Zabbaleen (informal trash collectors) fit into the political story of economic development in Egypt. Egypt presently faces much uncertainty as its citizens call for change during an era of political reordering. Their demands stem largely from the breakdown of the ―authoritarian bargain‖ that once characterized state-society relations, as since the 1970s, the government has promoted economic liberalization and abandoned social welfare provision as a fundamental objective. This move limited opportunities available to the urban poor through the public and private sectors, leading to escalated growth in the informal economy and the third sector of non- governmental organizations. The informal sector has offered greater opportunities for employment, even as social welfare provision became the responsibility of NGOs, whose influence is strongly apparent among Egypt‘s poor. As a dispossessed societal group, the Zabbaleen offer a useful lens through which to evaluate the effects of policy change upon one segment of the populace; many of the risks they face as informal workers have been partially mitigated by the efforts of numerous NGOs that support them. Yet the uncertainty that continues to characterize the condition of the Zabbaleen also provides insight into tensions inherent within the coexistence of the authoritarian state system and an extensive informal economy and third sector.

The Egyptian revolution received widespread media coverage during the Arab Spring not only because of Egypt’s position as a main political hub in the Middle East and North Africa, but also because activists were using different forms of media to communicate the events of the movement to the world. While the Egyptian government employed numerous tactics to suppress the uprising’s roots online—including by shutting down internet connectivity, cutting off mobile communications, imprisoning dissenters, blocking media websites, confiscating newspapers, and disrupting satellite signals in a desperate measure to limit media coverage—online dissidents were able to evade government pressure and spread their cause through social- networking websites. This led many to label the Egyptian revolution the Facebook or Twitter Revolution. Since the introduction of the internet in 1993, the Egyptian government has invested in internet infrastructure as part of its strategy to boost the economy and create job opportunities. The Telecommunication Act was passed in 2003 to liberalize the private sector while keeping government supervision and control over information and communication technologies (ICTs) in place.
