Al-Finiq: 38% Poverty, 72% earn under 600 dinars
The shocking figures revealed by the Phenix Center indicate that the poverty rate in Jordan reaches 38%, while 72% of Jordanians earn salaries less than 600 dinars. This reflects an increase in the number of working poor and an overall decline in the economic situation. Despite the stability of the Jordanian dinar's exchange rate and efforts to address the balance of payments deficit, these measures have come at the expense of rising poverty levels and declining living standards. The wide disparity between wages and prices shows that many citizens work multiple jobs, with some working more than 12 hours a day, even after surpassing the age of sixty, in order to meet their needs. The underlying cause of this situation is attributed to austerity policies linked to the conditions set by the International Monetary Fund, which have contributed to concentrated economic growth among a small segment of society, alongside increasing poverty and social inequality in Jordan.
