| Description: |
Farmers load and prepare carrots for transport to market in Atok, Benguet, Philippines. The Republic of the Philippines is an archipelago of 7 107 islands. Poverty is predominantly rural and, although it varies by region, it is pervasive throughout the southern Philippines, particularly in Mindanao and the mountainous areas of Luzon. Two thirds of the population live in rural areas and are dependent on subsistence agriculture for their household income. Despite the more than one million jobs that were generated by this sector, over one million rural workers remain unemployed and over three million are underemployed. |
