One of the seven societies
Egypt: Participation to Burden, Worth and Respect
The five final values
| Measure | Egypt | Reference point |
|---|
| Participation to Burden ratio, paid work (with home work) | 0.56 (0.79) | 1 = participation equals burden |
| Ratio of the richest 1% (its parts counted in hours of work) | −0.76 | 0 = on the brink; above 0 = inside the green boundary |
| Overall worth level, hours of NEP work a week per capable adult (set point) | 32.5 (36.4) | Above the set point (in brackets) = spare participation |
| Respect value | 1.37 | 1 = world-average preference gradient where the hours given equal the hours needed |
| VIL depth | 97% | 0% = no need rests on a resource that does not satisfy the green check |

How much of each need rests on resources failing the green check
| Food: factory nitrogen and wild fish | 86% |
|---|
| Food: farm work by machines | 95% |
|---|
| Food, both together | 99% |
|---|
| Cooking and heating | 100% |
|---|
| Electricity | 87% |
|---|
| Transport | 100% |
|---|
VIL depth, and what if those resources vanished
| VIL depth (range) | 97% (96–97%) |
|---|
| Production adequacy now → if they vanished (with pumping) | 0.90 → 0.63 (0.48) |
|---|
| Set point, hours needed a week per capable adult: now → if they vanished (food and electricity cut + farm machine work by hand = together, range) (with pumping) | 36.4 → 52.4 + 41.5 = 93.9 (84.7–103.4) (109.1) |
|---|
| Worth level, hours given a week | 32.5 |

The ratio beside the needs reaching the people
| Ratio, paid work (Part 1) | 0.56 |
