The Plight of the Rightless: Mapping and Understanding Statelessness in Tripoli-V1.3 compares to a lower percentage of 5% among the non-stateless surveyed population. As for the ones who do not have any access to healthcare services at all, the percentages are more comparable between the stateless and non-stateless, as the former accounts to 12% and the latter 10%. As such, the numbers show that statelessness has the tendency to drive individuals to fraud and the use of mediation, and limits individuals’ choices for healthcare services. Figure 13-Access to health services Right to Work Stateless persons do not have the right to work legally in the formal sector, except for under-study individuals (whose job opportunities are also restricted). However, many engage in informal jobs to secure a living. Among the surveyed stateless, three out of five declared being unemployed. This corresponds to an unemployment rate of 58% which is higher than that of the surveyed nonstateless (49%). When it comes to wages, stateless earn 32% less than the non-stateless working in the same city. The average monthly income of a stateless person is 215 USD whereas that of a non-stateless from the same neighbourhood is 314 USD. Overall, the average household income of a stateless is also 22% lower, 462 USD compared to 592 USD for the non-stateless household. Stateless people face higher unemployment rates and are economically less well off than non-stateless individuals as shown by the 30% lower average income. As for exploitation at work, all surveyed were asked to what extent they felt exploited by their employers or clients and work conditions (in case they were self-employed). Overall, 24% of nonstateless and 30% of stateless declared that they do feel exploited all the time or most of the time at work. This reflected reality goes against what is provided in Article 8-3 (a) of the International 37
