Sudanese refugees are mostly in working ages, and they are looking for job opportunities or an opportunity to move to even more developed countries. Thus, Sudan is losing valuable human resources who can work for them. And, loss of the working generations will increase the dependency ration, and it will worsen the economy, which is already devastated. There are positive effects for Sudanese refugees since it gives them better opportunities, but there is hardly any positive effects that the Sudanese refugees bring to their homeland. One of the advantage is that the Sudanese refugees brings is that they send money to their families back in Sudan, and enable them to be more economically active.

Sudanese refugees also affect Egypt. One effect of Sudanese refugees in Egypt is that they provide easily disposable labor at very low costs. Sudanese people work at very low salary because they cannot have decent legal employment due to the very stringentlaw that gives very few work permits to Sudanese people so that they cannot take away job opportunities of Egyptian citizens. Thus, they are willing to work at very low costs for the works that Egyptians would avoid. Thus, Sudanese people contribute to the Egyptian economy in providing the works that Egyptians evade.

Yet, the Sudanese people are subject to racial discrimination and police violations. They were once victims to the police raids due to their race. According to the Human Rights Watch, the police asked the people around to report where the black people live, and detained them. This "Operation Track Down Blacks" shows how Egyptian government maltreats them and ignore the human rights.

In addition, most of the Sudanese refugees and migrants come to the cities for better job opportunies. This increases the density in the cities and contribute to the water and air pollution due to the higher population density.
