Overview
This study examines the causes and factors of the prevalence of working poverty among workers in the Sudanese labour market and its impacts on families’ food security. A poor worker is defined as a person who is employed in a job in the labour market but lives in a poor household. This branch of labour economics merges labour market input with welfare economics. Households’ extreme poverty with working members is a widespread phenomenon in many developing countries and has serious consequences for productivity and well-being. This study employs an instrumental variable binary probit model to control for endogeneity between household food shortage propensity and wages, using cross-sectional data from the 2022 Labour Market Framework Survey in Sudan. We construct a household food shortage indicator as a proxy measure for in-work poverty. The results demonstrate that more than 40% of workers in Sudan live in extreme poverty. The model reveals that a 100% increase in wages would reduce the tendency towards poor household’s food shortages by 50%–60%. Wages should be increased at least threefold to eliminate food shortages due to poor working families’ lack of resources prior to the necessary increase to meet other basic living needs such as education, health, adequate housing and other concerns. This means that Sudan must substantially restructure the current labour market and wages to eliminate working poverty. تتناول هذه الدراسة أسباب وعوامل انتشار الفقر بين العاملين في سوق العمل وتأثيراته على الأسر. يُعرّف العامل الفقير بأنه الشخص الذي يعمل في وظيفة في سوق العمل ولكنه يعيش في أسرة فقيرة. يجمع هذا الفرع من اقتصاديات العمل بين مدخلات سوق العمل واقتصاديات الرفاهية. يُعدّ الفقر المدقع في الأسر وفي أماكن العمل ظاهرة منتشرة في العديد من البلدان النامية، ولها عواقب وخيمة على الإنتاجية والرفاهية. تستخدم هذه الدراسة نموذج بروبيت الثنائي للمتغيرات الآلية للتحكم في مشكلة التداخل بين احتمالية نقص الغذاء والأجور، وذلك باستخدام بيانات مقطعية من مسح إطار سوق العمل في السودان عام 2022. ويُستخدم مؤشر نقص الغذاء في الأسرة كمقياس بديل للفقر بين العاملين. وقد وجدت الدراسة أن أكثر من 40% من العمال يعيشون في فقر مدقع. وقدّر النموذج أن زيادة الأجور بنسبة 100% ستخفض احتمالية نقص الغذاء على مستوى الأسرة بنسبة تتراوح بين 50 و60 نقطة مئوية. ينبغي زيادة الأجور ثلاثة أضعاف على الأقل للقضاء على نقص الغذاء الناتج عن نقص المال في الأسر العاملة الفقيرة، وذلك قبل الزيادة اللازمة لتلبية الاحتياجات الأساسية الأخرى، مثل التعليم والصحة والسكن اللائق وغيرها. وهذا يعني أن السودان بحاجة إلى إجراء إعادة هيكلة جوهرية لسوق العمل والأجور للقضاء على الفقر بين العاملين.
