Introduction

The last decade has witnessed numerous changes and challenges in the MENA region. Conflicts in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen, as well as the political unrest in some areas of East Africa continue to force refugees and asylum seekers to migrate to countries like Egypt, where many refugees and migrants have been living for years in protracted displacement including large numbers of children, adolescents and youth.  Along the years they have been subject to vulnerabilities, social protection issues, and labour market integration challenges.  Their challenges include barriers to residency and secure stay, difficulties to access work permits, access to education and training and access to employment services. 
On the other hand, Egyptian youth are facing socio-economic challenges within the Egyptian market with a good portion of the young people are aspiring for migration seeking better socio-economic opportunities in foreign markets. 
This can be attributed to the structural and cyclical challenges in the labour market with key impediments including gender disparities in accessing the labour market, lack of job creation and a week business environment.   Unemployment has been a growing challenge facing Egyptian youth, with specific intensity among females.
