The phenomena of Egyptians emigrating from Egypt was rare until Nasser came to power after overthrowing the monarchy. In the 1980s many emigrated mainly to Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to work, this happened under different circumstances but mainly for economic reasons. A sizable Egyptian diaspora did not begin to form until well into the 1980s and today it is estimated that about 4.7 million Egyptians live abroad.〔 ==Trends== According to studies conducted by the International Organization for Migration, migration is an important phenomenon for the development of Egypt. An estimated 4.7 million (2010) Egyptians abroad contribute actively to the development of their country through remittances (US$7.8 million in 2009), circulation of human and social capital, as well as investment. As of 2006, approximately 70% of Egyptian migrants lived in Arab countries (1.3 million in Saudi Arabia, 950,000 in Libya, 500,000 in Jordan, 250,000 in Kuwait and 160,000 in UAE;〔 also Qatar lists 180.000 Egyptian residents.〔 The remaining 30% are living mostly in Europe and North America (635,000 in the US, and 141.000 in Canada. Europe totals 510.000, with almost half of them - 210,000 - living in Italy).〔 There is also a large Egyptian population of around 80.0000 in Australia.〔 Generally, those who emigrate to the United States and western European countries tend to do so permanently, while Egyptians migrating to Arab countries go there with the intention of returning to Egypt and have been categorized at least partially as "temporary workers". The number of "temporary workers" was given in the 2001 census as 923,000 in Saudi Arabia, 332,000 in Libya, 226,000 in Jordan, 190,000 in Kuwait, 95,000 in UAE and smaller numbers in other Arab countries Prior to the 1970s, few Egyptians left the country in search for employment, and most in doing so were highly skilled professionals. After a law in 1971 authorized emigration and settlement abroad, and until the 1980s, the Gulf States and Libya saw an important immigration of low skilled Egyptian workers. From the end of the 1980s until today, emigration to Arab countries decreased, although an important Egyptian population kept living there, and new emigrants started to choose Europe as a destination, often travelling by irregular means.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egyptian diaspora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
