أثر التعليم على مكافحة الفقر في مصر

Abstract EN

The study aimed to measure the impact of education in reducing poverty in Egypt, by addressing both the theoretical treatment of the mechanisms of the impact of the role of education in reducing poverty, and the applied literature, as well as reviewing the development of education and poverty indicators in Egypt during 1990- 2018, and conducting the standard study using The logistic model based on the data of the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (2015, 2017.

The study concluded that the relationship between spending on education and poverty was negative in different geographical areas in Egypt, and this means that increasing spending on education leads to a decrease in the likelihood of the family falling below poverty line.

The results of the study also indicated that an increase in the number of years of experience means that the family is less likely to fall below the poverty line, and that the potential impact of education on poverty in the countryside is higher than in urban Egypt, given the favorable effects of educating children in the countryside on family income and their health and family habits.

There are a number of mechanisms through which the impact of education is transmitted on poverty, such as the role that education plays in improving the human development
index, reducing inequality in income distribution, advancing the development process especially in rural areas, as well as raising family and individual awareness.
