The poverty status of individuals categorized by their work status in the past 12 months (e.g., worked full-time, part-time, did not work).
Directly shows the link between work engagement and poverty. It distinguishes between the "working poor" (those who work but remain in poverty) and those who are in poverty due to unemployment or non-participation in the labor force.
Specific Relevance for Professionals:
Marketers
Helps identify segments in poverty who are actively working (the "working poor") versus those who are not in the labor force, influencing strategies for essential goods, job training, or public assistance services tailored to their specific economic context.
Researchers
Fundamental for studying labor market dynamics, the effectiveness of minimum wage policies, the impact of underemployment on poverty, and the challenges faced by individuals who are employed but remain in economic hardship.
Consultants
Useful for advising clients on workforce development programs, job placement services, or social impact initiatives that target individuals based on their work status and poverty level, ensuring interventions are well-aligned.
Public Policy Workers
Critical for informing minimum wage laws, unemployment benefits policies, job training programs, and social welfare initiatives designed to support both the unemployed and the working poor, ensuring policies address specific employment-related poverty challenges.
