Abstract
The nature of in-poverty and the necessary policies to reduce it are different from general poverty. Therefore, and considering the importance of this phenomenon in Iran, in this research, its indicators were calculated with the approach of income poverty for the years 2004-2020 and the factors affecting the probability of reducing in-work poverty were investigated. The results show that these indices have fluctuated in this period, but have a rising trend in recent years. The headcount ratio of in-work poverty is lower than the general poverty of the population and the difference between them has increased at the end of the period. Also, the average number of employees of the poor population is less than the average number of employees of the entire population. Based on the results of a logistic model estimation was determined that gender, the square of age, elementary education, being unskilled, being a wage earner (rural areas), the dimension of the household and working in the agriculture sector increase the probability of poverty, while degree of household independence, literacy of the household head, age, number of hours and days of work, multiple job holding, academic education, being an employer, working in the public sector and working in the industry reduce the probability of poverty.
