To break free from the cycle of vulnerability, Jamaica needs economic transformation to create productive jobs that can lift people out of poverty sustainably. This means enhancing productivity in sectors where poorer workers are currently concentrated, including tourism and agriculture, while also bolstering formal job creation in sectors where productivity is already high.
Of the world’s 736 million extreme poor in 2015, 368 million—half of the total—lived in just 5 countries. The 5 countries with the highest number of extreme poor are (in descending order): India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and Bangladesh. They also happen to be the most populous countries of South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, the two regions that together account for 85 percent (629 million) of the world’s poor.
