Abstract: This article applies Esping-Andersen's welfare state typology to Egypt from 1995 to 2005. It examines state, market, and society relations during market-oriented reforms and analyzes seven welfare schemes and safety nets. It characterizes Egypt's welfare state as conservative/informal, with benefits tied to formal employment and families, religious institutions, and clientelistic networks filling gaps for the informal sector.
