ALMOST half of Filipino households polled by Social Climate Stations (SWS) rated themselves as “poor” in its final survey in June 2022.
At 48 p.c, SWS estimates that 12.2 million households have expressed emotions of hardship.
The speed of those that rated themselves as poor remained on the identical stage from final yr,
However, 21 p.c of respondents rated themselves as “not tough” whereas 31 p.c rated themselves as “borderline tough”.
Equally, the speed of the “non-poor” and “borderline poor” barely modified final yr.
Nevertheless, the pollster stated 8.8 p.c of “poor” households are “newly poor”, out of an estimated 2.2 million, who stated they have been “not poor” one to 4 years in the past. In the meantime, 6.1 p.c (1.6 million households) are “normally poor”, and 33 p.c (8.4 million households) are “all the time poor”.
SWS performed face-to-face interviews with 1,500 adults nationwide from June 26 to 29, 2022, for its Second Quarter survey.
The survey outcomes have a margin of sampling error of ±2.5 p.c.
