Abstract EN

The current study aimed to analyze and measure the relationship between wages, labour productivity and unemployment in Egypt during the period (1974-2015), using the analytical method and the Econometric method.

The study using the ARDL approach, found that there is no long-term balance between wage growth, labour productivity growth and the unemployment rate, which meaning that changes in wages are independent of changes in labor productivity.

Unemployment has no impact on both wages and labor productivity.

The unemployment rate does not affect both the real wage growth rate and the growth rate of labor productivity.

In addition, the study went on to adopt a perspective that emphasizes “targeting wages as one of the main axes of led Economic growth in Egypt,” starting with the presentation of the necessary requirements for the transition to this policy, namely (infrastructure development, strong and effective institutions in the labour market, reallocation and distribution of resources to real economic sectors, consolidation of labor markets, tax policy review and attention to social protection.
