Abstract: The dynamic intersection between technology and labor constitutes the focal point of labor market policies designed to align with technological transitions. In this context, studying the characteristics of digitized work content and work relations is crucial for comprehending the evolving landscape of the Egyptian labor market and accompanying policymaking. This paper investigates the evolution of the use of technology in the workplace in Egypt; we begin by exploring changes in computer and internet use, with particular attention to potential firms’ responses to COVID-19 (e.g., remote working…etc.). Further, we also assess the types and prevalence of digital/computer skills across the whole population, in the labor force, and by type of jobs. Finally, the paper examines employment through digital platforms in Egypt.Length: 41
