This article argues for the need to reconsider the changing nature of in-work poverty (IWP). In doing so, the authors present evidence not included in current debates or statistics, of people working in more than one job, yet still experiencing IWP. Using the dynamic theory of poverty and a qualitative approach, the authors identify various structural constraints that sustain cycles of IWP. This highlights the multidimensionalities of poverty, incorporating the temporalities, types and depths of IWP. The evidence demonstrates how poverty is experienced and individualised and also how it is created and sustained through paid work, rather than being challenged by it.

本文认为有必要重新考虑工作贫困 (IWP) 不断变化的性质。在此过程中，作者提供了当前辩论或统计数据中未包含的证据，表明人们从事一项以上的工作，但仍然经历 IWP。使用贫困的动态理论和定性方法，作者确定了维持 IWP 周期的各种结构性约束。这突出了贫困的多维性，包括 IWP 的时间性、类型和深度。证据表明贫困是如何经历和个性化的，以及它是如何通过有偿工作创造和维持的，而不是受到挑战。
