Historical Background

Historical Background Historically, Egypt was a land of immigrants. Egypt has been an area of international migration (migration from the eastern and the north-eastern Mediterranean countries to Egypt). In the past, foreigners were coming to Egypt while Egyptians rarely migrated abroad till the mid mid-1950s. Migration for Egypt peaked after 1975.

Egyptian Migration Statistics Number of Egyptians abroad ranges between 3.8 to 8 million! Two main destinations for Egyptian migrants; Arab countries (Temporary Labor Migration), and the West (Permanent Migration). Regular vs. Irregular Migration Migration to Egypt

Migration and Development in Egypt Egypt has long tried to use migration as a strategy for development. Initially, this mainly concerned using migration as a means of easing pressure on the Egyptian labour market. This was the reasons why the State authorized permanent and temporary migration in 1971 and lifted restrictions on labour migration in 1974.

Migration and Development in Egypt However, in 1981, when the Egyptian government further eased migration procedures, the aim was no longer only to resolve unemployment problems, but also to increase remittances necessary to supply payment deficits.
