June 30 Revolution: Efforts to Safeguard Informal Workers

Over the past three years, the efforts of the Egyptian state have seen a significant transformation in protecting and promoting the rights of informal workers. Approximately 4.6 billion Egyptian pounds have been allocated in the form of grants, healthcare, and compensation, reflecting the government's commitment to supporting the most vulnerable groups. Additionally, workers were supported during the COVID-19 pandemic with nearly 1.37 billion pounds, bringing the total expenditure on these workers to over 5.96 billion pounds. Measures included increasing the value of grants and raising death and disability benefits, as well as integrating informal workers into the formal labor market through the issuance of free certificates and attestations. An exceptional grant of 1,500 pounds was also provided to each worker, exemplifying the ongoing government focus on protecting and improving the living standards of this group.
