    This document discusses poverty in the East Asia and Pacific region. It begins with defining poverty and poverty lines. The East Asia and Pacific region has made significant progress reducing extreme poverty, but still faces challenges of rising inequality, population growth, and vulnerability to climate change. The case study of the Philippines shows how reducing poverty through transitioning workers to other sectors and increasing social programs, but natural disasters remain a challenge. The document concludes that while poverty has decreased in most countries through government and UN measures, more work is still needed to reduce inequality, improve resilience to climate change, and support developing countries.
