Ruled Ibrahim Awad, the former immigration officer in North Africa the ILO, the return of Egyptian workers in Europe under the pressure of the economic crisis now in the euro area, although this concentration of employment in those countries most in crises in the continent which Greece and Italy.
Said Awad, who left office in the organization last year, there has been no studies in the organization of labor in Egyptian and Arab in those countries and their vulnerability to the crisis there, «but the crisis of 2008 showed that Nader is returning those workers to their home but are looking for alternative opportunities when job loss paid less », explained that in the global financial crisis that occurred as a result of mortgage problems are no longer the Egyptian and Arab labor from abroad,« will not be different from the situation for the European crisis ».
The Egyptian labor, which works mostly in the field of hotels, and construction work when they lose their jobs to tend to the informal economy, where the minimum wage from the rate established by law in these countries, and moving business owners tend to this solution as a temporary cost-cutting so help them to continue until going through the crisis, «any implication that there is agreement between the employer and the worker to give each of them some rights in order to continue the wheel in rotation», according to Awad.
He said Awad, who heads the immigration department at the American University professor who works with it, is the new employment that may be affected, with little or no crisis in general.
Although there is no specific figures for Egyptian workers in European countries but that the statements of former officials in the government before the revolution pointed to the existence of about 250 thousand Egyptians in Italy alone deployed in the construction sector and agriculture, but instead denied the work of the Egyptians in agriculture there is a lack of experience they have, « Italians prefer Romanians in this field ».
Awad believes that the increased migration of workers or return them to their home countries under the economic crisis is not the problem, but the real crisis caused by the exposure of migrant workers to discrimination by the indigenous people, as reported in a study on the impact of global financial crisis on labor migration, which concluded to increase labor migration in the light of the economic crises in general, because of the high unemployment rate, which rose dramatically after the global financial crisis, and said that in these circumstances usually increases pressure citizens in the country which receives labor immigrants, so forced their governments to increase restrictions that aim to reduce the foreign workers to their countries.
And confirms the view that the law announced by Britain recently, and which aims to reduce foreign workers from non-European to half, and is the most important items is the expulsion of Hagar and which has not succeeded in obtaining high pay in five years.
The study also found that under the global economic crisis, is witnessing workers' remittances increases steadily, «They want to help families affected by the crisis and who have lost their jobs» by Awad, said that such transfers typically represent one of the most important sources of national income in countries the employment of origin.
