Egypt Plans Wider Social and Insurance Protection for Irregular Workers

Egypt’s government is planning to expand social and insurance protection for irregular workers, according to Labor Ministry spokesman Abdel Wahab Khadr.

Khadr said the plan follows directives from the political leadership to broaden the protection available to this category of workers across the country.

The proposed expansion covers both social support and insurance protection, placing the two areas within the government’s approach to supporting irregular labor.

The announcement did not specify an implementation timetable, the number of workers expected to benefit or the measures that would be introduced.
