الآثار الاقتصادية و الاجتماعية المترتبة على الدعم الحكومي في مصر

الملخص EN

The support policy is one of the most important policies of concern to developing countries, including Egypt, with the aim of improving the standard of living of the poor.

In Egypt, the policy of support for some commodities began because of the economic conditions that prevailed during World War II, and he liked to stop support at the end of World War II, but successive governments after the end of that war continued to give support, because they feared demonstrations that could lead to the overthrow of governments, such as the demonstrations of January 18, 19, 1977, which rejected price increases, resulting in the government reversing its decision.

The subsidy is considered an inherent right of the poor and not a gift or grant to them, but one of its downsides is that the rich classes benefit more from the targeted classes of subsidies, such as subsidizing fuel and transportation.

The support must be directed according to accurate statistics that show the poor who are targeted by the support, and the support is in kind or cash, and if the cash support is more accurate to prevent its leakage to the undeserving, and real job opportunities must be available for those who are deserving of support, as there is an inverse relationship between income and support, the higher the income Subsidy decreased by the amount of increase in income or employment and vice versa.

Support expenditures come through official support from the state in the first place, and there is also informal support issued by the people to help the state in spending on support for the poor, but the latter does not appear in the state’s general budget.

There are many projects and programs that are concerned with the social dimensions of the target groups of support, such as the Solidarity and Dignity Program, the Social Solidarity Pension, the Dignified Life Project, the Forsa Program, and the Long Live Egypt Fund.

These projects and the program play a very important role in helping the poor and the most vulnerable classes.

Poverty.

God grants success.
