Dr. Muhammad Saafan, Minister of Manpower, said that the ministry does not have a database and uses the rules in certain bodies, such as insurance, adding that the Ministry of Communications helps us in this, as insured workers. We take your data from the Insurance Authority.

Saafan added, during the “Cairo Hadith” program on “Cairo and the people”: “Anyone who works and feels that the employer is not insured, if he comes to the labor office, there will be a procedure, not through a report, rather, we communicate with the owner of the facility, so that the insurance can be made. The employee “.

He continued: “The employer’s problem is confirmation after one year, so we allow it more than one year, but if the employer wants to fire the employee, they must compensate this employee.”

He added: “Many young people want to work and we meet with them daily, we communicate with training bodies, and some employers do not create a suitable environment for employment and claim that they cannot find work.”

Regarding the informal economy, Saafan said that one of the most important functions of the labor market platform is to discuss the crisis of the informal economy, since there is a segment of those who seek only profit, and another segment of people who find difficulty in formal work, so you enter the so-called informal economy, and there is a big difference between the two segments. .

Regarding the complaints received by the ministry, Saafan said they are numerous, and one of his envelopes is that some receive a subsidy without presenting it, and there are complaints against the minister himself, but “there is no hidden need.”

Saafan emphasized: “I am certain that it is not allowed to count, in any way, except from the ground, so we contacted some fishermen and asked for their complete information, not only the name, but all the details of the family, to build a solid database, and the Farm Workers Union doesn’t have complete data. “

Saafan concluded that there will be a “request” to register a database for workers abroad, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to assist employees abroad. We have representative offices in all the Gulf countries, and even in Europe, and we have 10 to 12 million workers outside Egypt, and the most exact number is in the Ministry of the Interior and Egyptian labor is still in demand in the Gulf.
