A recent report prepared by the ‘Famine Early Warning Network’ for the World Food Program showed that half of Yemen’s population earns a primary income from irregular sources, including daily wage labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report indicated that, on average, the worker will need to work ten full days per month to cover the prices of goods, and described this as very difficult, due to the limited demand for labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report emphasized that the high competition for daily wage labor makes it very difficult for a person to get ten days of work per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It explained that food prices remained well above the five-year average, and above the levels recorded last year, driven by high global food prices, conflict and currency depreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report concluded that given the persistently high food prices, many Yemenis are unable to afford adequate food.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
