"Poverty is often associated with unemployment—however, millions of working
people around the world are living in what’s considered to be extreme poverty,
or less than $1.90 per day.

Thankfully, the world’s population of poor workers has decreased substantially
over the last few decades. But how exactly has it changed since 1991, and where
is the majority of the working poor population living today?

This graphic by Gilbert Fontana uses data from the International Labour
Organization (ILO) to show the regional breakdown of the world’s working poor,
and how this demographic has changed in the last few decades."
