I'm a person who would like to do some work for Bitcoin, so I monitor freelancing sites occasionally, and at this time I feel like the freelance market in Bitcoin is nearly dead. The Services board is 99% listings of services rather than people who are looking to buy some; XBTfreelancer is empty or has 1-2 projects most of the time; cryptogrind has mostly just ridiculously underpaid projects or again service announcements (shouldn't they be banned there?), and there's also not much available projects overall; workingforbitcoins has very little traffic, just a few projects per month.

It was theorized that Bitcoin will help alleviate poverty by allowing people to work online without any restrictions, but on practice this just isn't happening. In your opinion, what is the reason for this?

Sad to hear that, but most probably it is because of all the volatility of bitcoin. Companies or institutions are hard pressed to keep bitcoin reserves because of the risk that the value will suddenly increase or decrease because whatever value they have, they still have to pay a fixed amount of regular operating expenses.

If we see more adoption and stabler valuations I'm sure this can easily change for the better.

Bitcoin freelancing is not dead at all, but there were just some opportunities that are not profitable nowadays just like joining bounty campaigns, Signature campaigns that are paid in Bitcoin, also marketer, administration, social media manager, and other ICO related job are not that in demand now compare last year.

The reason behind this change is the present strength of bitcoin. Bitcoin always had the potential to survive but no one can deny the fact that campaigns played a vital role in its success too. Now trading is the most beneficial way of making money from bitcoin or increasing the its amount. There is blogging and options like making youtube channel regarding bitcoin or come up with ones own business.
