Figure 5: The Percentage of Unpaid Workers among Regions by Work Status in
Egypt 2015

Estimation Procedures
Step 1: according to the survey data, it is indicated that 68.3% of urban
governorates citizens are involved in unpaid work versus 59.2% in Lower Egypt
and 62.8% in Upper Egypt. According to the Department of Population
Projection in CAPMAS the total population aged (10-64) reached 11455653 in
urban governorates, 28165267 in Lower Egypt and 24874313in Upper Egypt
in 1/7/2015. In this step estimation is made for the number of unpaid workers
by multiplying the targeted population in every region by the percentage of
unpaid work regionally as follows:
Region Population % of Unpaid work # of unpaid workers
Urban governorates 11455653 0.683 7824211
Lower Egypt 28165267 0.628 17687787
Upper Egypt 24874313 0.592 14725593
Total Egypt 65709358 0.622 40739802

Step 2: from the survey data, the average value of unpaid work per person/day
is calculated and the results show that average value of unpaid work reached
75.2 LE in urban governorates versus 40.2 LE in Lower Egypt and 29.1 LE in
Upper Egypt. In order to estimate the annual cost of unpaid work among
regions, the value of unpaid work per day is multiplied by the days of the year
as follows:
Region Unpaid work Days of the year # of unpaid workers
value per day
Urban governorates 75.2 LE 365 27448 LE
Lower Egypt 40.2 LE 365 14673 LE
Upper Egypt 29.1 LE 365 10621 LE
Total Egypt 44 LE 365 16060 LE
