Six years on from the Arab Spring, have economic prospects improved for Egypt's revolutionary youth? Ed Butler reports from Cairo, where youth unemployment stands above 30%, and well-educated graduates are struggling to find decent jobs. He hears how global ride-sharing app Uber is signing up 2,000 new drivers a week amid a shortage of work, and from tech firms determined to nurture talent at the heart of the Egyptian capital.
