A. Introduction

Poverty is a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basichuman needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities,health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on incomebut also on access to services. It includes a lack of income and productiveresources to ensure sustainable livelihoods; hunger and malnutrition; illhealth; limited or lack of access to education and other basic services;increased morbidity and mortality from illness; homelessness andinadequate housing; unsafe environments and social discrimination andexclusion.

Poverty have been recurrent challenge in the Philippines and have

again come to the fore in the wake of the current global nancial crisis andrising food, fuel, and commodity prices. The proportion of householdsliving below the ocial poverty line has declined very slowly and unevenlyin the past four decades, and poverty reduction has been much slower thanin neighboring countries such as the Peoples Republic of China (PRC),Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam.

The growth of the economy has been characterized by boom andbust cycles, and current episodes of moderate economic expansion havehad limited impact on poverty reduction. Other reasons for the relativelymoderate poverty decline include the high rate of inequality across incomebrackets, regions, and sectors; high population growth rates; and perennialoccurrences of disasters and longstanding conicts in various regions.

AND INTERPRETATION OFDATA


7/15

A. Presentation of Data

In the Philippines, there are three methods of measurement of poverty. Thefirst one is based on the official criteria by the government, and is computed byincome. The second is applied by the World Bank and based on expenditure. Thelast one is applied by the NSO (National Statistics Office) and is based on access tominimum basic infrastructure.

The Government of the Philippines defines major terminology of povertymeasurement as The Poor: Individuals and families whose income falls below thepoverty threshold as defined by the government and/or those who cannot afford ina sustained manner to provide their basic needs of food, health, education andhousing and the other amenities of life. Poverty Line: The minimumincome/expenditure required for a family/individual to meet the basic food andnon-food requirements. Poverty Incidence: The proportion offamilies/individuals with per capital income/expenditure less than the per capitapoverty threshold to the total number of families/individuals.

The effects of poverty are very visible in nature. Poverty causes manyFilipinos to not pursue their education, the economy of the country is also affectedin such a way that the economic activities are too domestic in nature, and decreasingthe country's ability to make a way to international economics.

Poverty also affects the daily lives of the Filipinos. As much as manyFilipinos depend on luck, it is triggered by their low-lifestyle favors. The nutrition of

many children in the Philippines is greatly affected by poverty. People living besidepolluted places are affected by their improper hygiene and urban dwellers are evenmore affected by their insufficient intake of healthy foods. Although poverty is in agreat level subjective to Filipinos, it does not account that only poor urban dwellersare affected by poverty.

CHAPTER 3CONCLUSION AND

RECOMMENDATION


14/15

A. Conclusion

We therefore conclude that Poverty has highlighted as one of theeconomic issues facing by the Philippines. The Philippine Economic did nottranslate into poverty reduction within the year of 2006 up to 2008, while thecountry experienced moderate economic growth in recent years, poverty reductionhas been slow. The quality of growth matters and persistent inequality mitigates

the positive impact of growth on poverty reduction, and poverty has become amajor constraint on the attainment of high levels of sustained growth and theoverall development of the country.

Poverty greatly vary by regions, there are regions where poverty ispersistently high. Poverty could also be linked to educational attainment. The

inflation, unemployment, inequality are also the causes of poverty. There is weaklocal government capacity for implementing poverty reduction programs.


15/15

B. Recommendation

Preventing Poverty is a long process. In order to imposed an effective rulesor policy, it should be done by following a step by step procedures. There should bea cooperation between the local residents, private, and the public sector, improvingcoordination and complementary action among government agencies and keystakeholders such as NGOs and corporations in clearly targeted localities andcommunities (from targeting to actual implementation of programs to monitoringand evaluation. Conducting more multidisciplinary research on the process, factors,and dynamics of moving in and out of poverty .

Considering regional and local characteristics more specifically.Interventions should also take into account factors affecting intraregionalinequality, which would imply equalizing access to quality health, education, and

infrastructure service within regions. Continuing to strengthen tourism, as this isone of the important sector for employment.
