Philippines: Poverty statistics

Updated 2015 and 2018 Full Year Official Poverty Statistics (Poverty Incidence among Families) The Philippine Statistics Authority updates the 2018 Full Year Official Poverty Statistics, which was initially released last 06 December 20191 (https://psa.gov.ph/content/proportion-poor-filipinos-was-estimated-166-percent-2018 ). This is in relation with the availability of the final 2018 Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES), as noted from PR 2020-093. The final 2018 FIES now incorporates the updated urban-rural classification based on the results of the 2015 Census of Population, and some revisions in the average family size as a result of the validations done when the merged 2018 FIES and the January 2019 Labor Force Survey (LFS) became available. Likewise, the updated urban-rural classification was adopted in the 2015 FIES to generate the 2015 Official Poverty Statistics that is comparable with the 2018 estimates. Hence, the 2015 estimates also released in December 2019 were also updated2 (https://psa.gov.ph/poverty-press-releases/nid/144733)
