Working Poor
The term "Working Poor" refers to individuals or families who are employed but still live below the poverty line. Despite having jobs, they often earn low wages that do not cover basic living expenses such as housing, food, and healthcare. This situation can arise from part-time work, low-paying jobs, or insufficient hours.
Many factors contribute to the working poor, including lack of education, limited job opportunities, and rising costs of living. Programs aimed at addressing this issue often focus on improving wages, providing job training, and increasing access to affordable services like childcare and transportation.
