Egypt’s current ‘youth bulge’ constitutes the majority
of its population, which implies that growth in the working-age population is
faster than the overall population growth rate. With a fast-growing young
population in Egypt, it is important to understand whether this demographic
composition has an impact on the current inequality measures, since an
individual’s stage in life deems detrimental for understanding his or her
wealth holdings. In this light, this paper departs from the basic life-cycle
impact on wealth inequality measures, and alternatively proposes an empirical
method to adjust for age-effects in cross-sectional inequality for Egypt. The
resulting Age-adjusted Gini coefficient
(AG), eliminates wealth inequality that is attributed
to age, yet it perpetuates inequality arising from other wealth-generating
factors. By using wealth equalising measures, results of the Age-adjusted Gini
coefficient show that age and household characteristics have no impact on
wealth accumulation in Egypt, however, wealth is greatly influenced by
increasing levels of education, making way for possible movement up the
mobility scale.
