Until 1971, emigration from the country was subject to legal restrictions and limited numbers, especially upon professionals who could migrate permanently to the West. The largest boost to outward flows occurred after the adoption of the 1971 Constitution where “permanent” and “temporary” emigration was authorized; and, especially after the 1973 War, with soaring oil prices and subsequent demand for migrant labor in Gulf countries and Libya.
Egypt is currently experiencing what has been called the permanence of temporary migration, whereby migration towards Arab countries is becoming less temporary and outnumbers long-term migration to Europe and North America. Recently, a rise in mostly irregular migration to Europe, especially to Italy and France, has also been recorded. In terms of immigration, Egypt is host to limited flows of migrant workers, but rising numbers of refugees and asylum seekers, mainly Eritrean, Somali, Sudanese, and increasing numbers of Syrian refugees.
