Abstract

The 2005 EDHS is part of the worldwide MEASURE DHS project that provides estimates for key indicatrs such as fertility, contraceptive use, infant and child mortality, immunization levels, coverage of antenatal and delivery care, nutrition, and prevalence of anemia. In addition, the survey was designed to provide information on the prevalence of female circumcision, domestic violence, and children’s welfare. The survey results are intended to assist policymakers and planners in assessing the current health and population programs and in designing new strategies for improving reproductive health and health services in Egypt.

Sampling procedure

SAMPLE DESIGN

The primary objective of the sample design for the 2005 EDHS was to provide estimates of key population and health indicators including fertility and child mortality rates for the country as a whole and for six major administrative regions (the Urban Governorates, urban Lower Egypt, rural Lower Egypt, urban Upper Egypt, rural Upper Egypt, and the Frontier Governorates). In addition, seven governorates targeted for special USAID-sponsored family planning and health initiatives were over sampled, namely: Fayoum, Beni-Suef, Menya, Qena, and Aswan in Upper Egypt, and Cairo and Alexandria.

In the Urban Governorates, Lower Egypt, and Upper Egypt, the 2005 EDHS design allowed for governorate-level estimates of most of the key variables, with the exception of the fertility and mortality rates. In the Frontier Governorates, the sample size was not sufficiently large to provide separate estimates for the individual governorates. To meet the survey objectives, the number of households selected in the 2005 EDHS sample from each governorate was not proportional to the size of the population in the governorate. As a result, the 2005 EDHS sample is not self-weighting at the national level, and weights have to be applied to the data to obtain the national-level estimates presented in this report.

SAMPLE SELECTION

The sample for the 2005 EDHS was selected in three stages. The first stage included selecting the primary sampling units. The units of selection were shiakhas/towns in urban areas and villages in rural areas. A list of these units which was based on the 1996 census was updated to August 2004 using information obtained from CAPMAS, and this list was used in selecting the primary sampling units (PSUs). Prior to the selection of the PSUs, the frame was further reviewed to identify any administrative changes that had occurred after August 2004. The updating process included both office work and field visits during a one-month period. After it was completed, urban and rural units were separately stratified by geographical location in a serpentine order from the northwest corner to the southeast corner within each governorate. During this process, shiakhas or villages with a population less than 2,500 were grouped with contiguous shiakhas or villages (usually within the same kism or markaz) to form units with a population of at least 5,000. After the frame was ordered, a total of 682 primary sampling units (298 shiakhas/towns and 384 villages) were selected.

The second stage of selection involved several steps. First, detailed maps of the PSUs chosen during the first stage were obtained and divided into parts of roughly equal population size (about 5,000). In shiakhas/towns or villages with a population of 20,000 or more, two parts were selected. In the remaining smaller shiakhas/towns or villages, only one part was selected. Overall, a total of 1,019 parts were selected from the shiakhas/towns and villages in the 2005 EDHS sample.

A quick count was then carried out to provide an estimate of the number of households in each part. This information was needed to divide each part into standard segments of about 200 households. A group of 48 experienced field workers participated in the quick count operation. They were organized into 16 teams, each consisting of 1 supervisor, 1 cartographer and 1 counter. A one-week training course conducted prior to the quick count included both classroom sessions and two field practices in a shiakha/town and a village not covered in the survey. The quick-count operation took place between the end of October 2004 and January 2005.

As a quality control measure, the quick count was repeated in 10 percent of the parts. If the difference between the results of the first and second quick count was less than 2 percent, then the first count was accepted. No major discrepancies were found between the two counts in most of the areas for which the count was repeated.

After the quick count, a total of 1,359 segments were chosen from the parts in each shiakha/town and village in the 2005 EDHS sample (i.e., two segments were selected from each of the 682 PSUs with the exception of 5 PSUs for which only one segment was selected). A household listing operation was then implemented in each of the selected segments. To conduct this operation, 13 supervisors and 26 listers were organized into 13 teams. Generally, each listing team consisted of a supervisor and two listers. A one-week training course for the listing staff was held in mid-January 2005. The training involved classroom lectures and two days of field practice in three urban and rural locations not covered in the survey. The listing operation took place during a five-week period, beginning immediately after the training.

About 10 percent of the segments were relisted. Two criteria were used to select segments for relisting. First, segments were relisted when the number of households in the listing differed markedly from that expected according to the quick count information. Second, a number of segments were randomly selected to be relisted as an additional quality control test. No major discrepancies were found in comparisons of the listings.

The third stage involved selecting the household sample. Using the household listing for each segment, a systematic random sample of households was selected for the 2005 EDHS sample. All ever-married women 15-49 who were usual residents or who were present in the sampled households on the night before the interview were eligible for the EDHS

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face

Research instrument

The 2005 EDHS involved two questionnaires: a household questionnaire and an individual questionnaire. The questionnaires were based on the model survey instruments developed by MEASURE DHS+ for countries with high contraceptive prevalence. Questions on a number of topics not covered in the DHS model questionnaires were also included in the 2005 EDHS questionnaires. In some cases, those items were drawn from the questionnaires used for earlier rounds of the DHS in Egypt. In other cases, the questions were intended to collect information on new topics.

The household questionnaire consisted of three parts: a household schedule, a series of questions related to the socioeconomic status of the household, height and weight measurement, and anemia testing. The household schedule was used to list all usual household members and visitors and to identify those present in the household during the night before the interviewer’s visit. For each of the individuals included in the schedule, information was collected on the relationship to the household head, age, sex, marital status (for those 15 years and older), educational attainment, repetition and dropout (for those 6-24 years), attendance of pre-school programs (for those 3-5 years old), and child labor (for those 6-14 years). The second part of the household questionnaire obtained information on characteristics of the physical and social environment of the household (e.g., type of dwelling, availability of electricity, source of drinking water, household possessions, and the type of salt the household used for cooking). Height and weight measurements were obtained and recorded in the last part of the household questionnaire for ever-married women age 15-49 years, children born since January 2000, and never-married adolescents age 10-19 years. In a subsample of one-third of households, all eligible women, all children born since January 2000, and all adolescents age 10-19 years were eligible for anemia testing.

The individual questionnaire was administered to all ever-married women age 15-49 who were usual residents or who were present in the household during the night before the interviewer’s visit. It obtained information on the following topics: • Respondent’s background • Reproduction • Contraceptive knowledge and use • Fertility preferences and attitudes about family planning • Pregnancy and breastfeeding • Immunization and child health • Husband’s background and women’s work • Female circumcision • Health care access and other health concerns • HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections • Mother and child nutrition.

In addition, a domestic violence section was administered to women in the subsample of households selected for the anemia testing. One eligible woman was selected randomly from each of the households in the subsample to be asked the domestic violence section.

The individual questionnaire included a monthly calendar, which was used to record a history of the respondent’s marriage status, fertility, contraceptive use including the source where the method was obtained, and the reason for discontinuation for each segment of use during each month of an

The Egypt real estate brokerage market is experiencing robust growth, projected to reach a market size of $2.45 billion in 2025 and maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.20% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key factors. Increased urbanization and a burgeoning population are driving demand for both residential and commercial properties. Government initiatives aimed at infrastructure development and investment in new urban communities like the New Capital are further stimulating the market. Furthermore, the rise of online platforms and PropTech solutions is enhancing market transparency and accessibility, attracting both domestic and international investors. The market is segmented by property type (residential and non-residential), service type (sales and rentals), and geographic location (Cairo, Alexandria, and the rest of Egypt), offering diverse investment opportunities. Cairo and Alexandria, being the major metropolitan areas, naturally command a significant market share. The competitive landscape is moderately concentrated, with established players like Palm Hills Developments and Amer Group alongside international brands like Sotheby's International Realty and Coldwell Banker competing with a multitude of smaller, local firms. This dynamic interplay of established players and emerging brokerage firms contributes to market vibrancy. The continued growth trajectory is expected to be supported by ongoing economic development and improvements in the overall investment climate. However, potential challenges remain, including economic volatility and fluctuations in interest rates which can influence affordability. Regulatory changes and potential shifts in government policies also bear monitoring. Nevertheless, the underlying fundamentals, such as population growth and infrastructure upgrades, suggest a positive outlook for the Egyptian real estate brokerage market in the long term. The market's strong performance demonstrates its resilience and adaptability in responding to both domestic and global economic fluctuations. The growth is expected to be relatively stable across all segments, but with the residential sector potentially leading growth due to rising population and demand for housing. Recent developments include: May 2024: Sotheby's International Realty, under the leadership of George Azar, Chairman and CEO of Dubai and Saudi Arabia Sotheby’s International Realty, unveiled a novel service tailored for ultra-high-net-worth individuals and multifamily offices.

The Egypt commercial real estate market is experiencing robust growth, projected to reach a market size of $9.41 billion in 2025, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.19% from 2019 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. Firstly, Egypt's burgeoning population and expanding economy are driving increased demand for office, retail, and industrial spaces. Tourism, a significant contributor to the Egyptian economy, is boosting the hospitality sector's real estate needs. Furthermore, government initiatives focused on infrastructure development and attracting foreign investment are creating a favorable environment for commercial real estate development. Cairo, Alexandria, and Giza remain the primary hotspots, attracting significant investment and development activity. However, challenges remain. Economic volatility and potential fluctuations in tourism could impact growth. Competition among major players, including Amer Group, Orascom Construction PLC, and Palm Hills Developments, is intense, potentially leading to price pressures. Nevertheless, the long-term outlook remains positive, driven by sustained population growth and economic diversification. The market is segmented by property type (Offices, Retail, Industrial & Logistics, Multi-family, Hospitality) and key cities, offering various investment opportunities. The forecast period (2025-2033) suggests continued growth, particularly within the logistics sector due to increased e-commerce penetration and improved supply chain infrastructure. The segmentation of the market into offices, retail, industrial and logistics, multi-family, and hospitality provides a nuanced understanding of growth dynamics within each segment. While the office and retail sectors are likely to experience steady growth mirroring overall economic activity, the industrial and logistics sector is poised for significant expansion due to increased foreign investment and the burgeoning e-commerce market. The multi-family segment is likely to be driven by urbanization and population growth, while the hospitality sector's performance will depend on the sustained growth of tourism. Geographical variations are significant, with Cairo, Alexandria, and Giza expected to retain their dominance due to established infrastructure and concentrated economic activity. However, strategic investments in other key cities like Port Said, boosted by infrastructural projects and strategic location, are likely to increase their market share within the forecast period. Careful consideration of these factors is crucial for investors and developers navigating the dynamic Egyptian commercial real estate market. Recent developments include: December 2022: Egyptian developer Urbnlanes Developments, a subsidiary of Emeel Abdalla Investments, will launch a 3-billion-Egyptian-pound (USD 122 million) commercial project in the 5th Settlement, New Cairo, in the first quarter of 2023, October 2022: Egypt's Afifi Investment Group acquired Uni Sharm Hotel in Sharm El-Sheikh and invested 400 million pounds ($17 million) to modernize the hotel, upgrade it to a 4-star category and introduce commercial and retail elements.. Key drivers for this market are: Increasing tourism is boosting the market, Rapid surge in population is driving the market. Potential restraints include: Increasing tourism is boosting the market, Rapid surge in population is driving the market. Notable trends are: Rise in Demand for Commercial Spaces Across Greater Cairo.
