Even with recent global progress that has lifted millions of people out of extreme poverty, more than 1 billion people still live on less than US $1.25 per day. A generation of young adults in developed and developing countries alike is confronting structural unemployment with a projected global shortfall of 1.8 billion jobs. Vulnerable populations like the disabled, refugees, and women in many parts of the world face earn just enough to escape poverty, but are still living paycheck to paycheck. I’m convinced that these challenges also present tremendous opportunities. Through our core business, eBay Inc. connects individuals and businesses of all sizes to global markets. eBay Founda- tion launched The Opportunity Project three years ago to enhance and extend the social impact our businesses intrinsically create. The initiative combines strategic grantmaking and skills-based employee volunteerism to support and help scale market-based approaches that unlock econo- mic opportunity in vulnerable, impoverished communities.
