摘　　要：Growing empirical evidence reveals the dramatic expansion in the risk of in-work poverty on a global scale over the last half-century.The current article reviews research on in-work poverty,illustrates how in-work poverty developed from a regional phenomenon into a global issue,and considers recent studies that have reexamined the concept of“in-work poverty”from the original“male family head”to further call on respecting the individual perspective and gender dimension.On the one hand,few studies have provided evidence on the gendered trends in in-work poverty;women’s situation in in-work poverty has not been particularly researched,and the gender dimension is often invisible.On the other hand,the existing literature does not consider this poverty issue much in developing countries,even though this does not mean that in-work poverty in developed countries is only a“side effect.”Hence,an international comparative setting with the gender dimension is needed,and more research is required to explore this construct within the context of the developing world.
