Title The Global Divide Which Economies Have the Highest Working Poverty Rates?

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of poverty, a recent report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) reveals a concerning trend in working poverty rates globally. In this post, we'll examine the economies that have made significant progress in reducing working poverty and those that still struggle with this issue.

According to the ILO's latest estimates, the Philippines has seen a worrying increase in extreme poverty, with around 1.9% of its working population living below the poverty line of $2.15 per day. This figure represents an alarming rise from the 0.55% reported in 2023. Furthermore, approximately 8% of the workforce falls into the moderately poor category, earning between $2.15 and $3.65 per day.

In contrast, several economies have made notable progress in reducing working poverty rates. For instance, [country name]'s efforts to promote entrepreneurship and innovation have led to a significant decline in extreme poverty rates, with only 0.5% of its working population living below the poverty line.

The ILO's estimates highlight the stark contrast between economies with high working poverty rates and those that have made substantial progress in addressing this issue. For example, [country name] has seen a remarkable decrease in moderate poverty rates, from 15.1% in 2023 to 5.6% last year.

To tackle working poverty, it is essential for governments, civil society organizations, and the private sector to work together. Innovative solutions, such as microfinance initiatives and job training programs, can help bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots. By leveraging technology and digital platforms, these efforts can be scaled up to reach a wider audience.

As we highlight in our recent publication, Transforming Adventure Seekers 2025, addressing working poverty is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). The ILO's estimates underscore the need for continued action and coordination among stakeholders to reduce working poverty rates globally.

By supporting gallant efforts and innovative solutions, we can create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
