Filipino families who consider themselves poor slightly down to 11.4M -- SWS survey

Slightly fewer Filipino families have considered themselves poor in the past three months, based on the results of the third quarter Social Weather Stations survey released on Saturday, Nov. 27.

SWS estimated that 11.4 million Filipino families felt they were poor in September 2021, as compared to the 12.0 million households who considered themselves poor in June 2021.“The three-point decrease in self-rated poor in the third quarter of 2021 was due to a sharp decline in the Visayas and a slight decrease in Metro Manila, offset by a steady score in Balance Luzon and an increase in Mindanao,” SWS pointed out.

Meanwhile, borderline poor rose in the Visayas, from 24 percent in June 2021 to 42 percent in September 2021; in Metro Manila, from 19 percent to 30 percent; and in Balance Luzon, from 28 percent to 32 percent.Compared to June 2021, those who said they were not poor hardly changed in all areas: it went from 7 percent to 4 percent in the Visayas, from 38 percent to 37 percent in Metro Manila, from 34 percent to 30 percent in Balance Luzon, and from 7 percent to 8 percent in Mindanao.

“Conversely, the survey asked those who were self-rated non-poor if they ever experienced being poor in the past. The total percentage of non-poor families consists of 14 percent who were poor 1-4 years ago , 11.9 percent who were poor five or more years ago , and 28.9 percent who never experienced being poor ,” SWS said.
