Abstract
<jats:p>This article analyzes the interrelationships between employment, poverty levels, and gross domestic product (GDP) from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Employment is one of the key indicators of economic development, playing a crucial role in shaping sources of income for the population, improving living standards, and ensuring social stability. At the same time, GDP, as a primary macroeconomic indicator reflecting the overall state of the economy, directly affects the well-being of the population and poverty levels. Through empirical analysis based on the experiences of various countries and statistical data, the study examines the interaction mechanisms between GDP growth, employment levels, and poverty. The results indicate that in countries with higher economic growth, employment levels are generally higher, and poverty levels tend to be lower. However, GDP growth does not always automatically lead to a reduction in poverty. If the outcomes of economic growth are not distributed fairly across all segments of society or if sufficient new jobs are not created, poverty levels may remain high. Furthermore, the article discusses opportunities to reduce poverty through ensuring sustainable GDP growth, developing an efficient labor market, creating new jobs, and enhancing the professional skills of the population. Factors such as improving the education system, implementing innovations, supporting entrepreneurship, and expanding the activities of small businesses and the private sector play a significant role in promoting economic growth and increasing employment levels.</jats:p>
