Egypt's informal sector is difficult to quantify (and even harder to tax). Microbusinesses of every possible description may account for as much as 70 percent of the country's jobs. A 1970s-era populist promise of a free education and a government job for every university graduate has left the country with a bloated, underpaid and mind-bogglingly inefficient public sector. Lacking any prospect for upward mobility through official channels, many Cairenes take second (and third) jobs, flying beneath the taxman's radar in the process.
