I. Introduction
From 2000 to 2003, women accounted for the second largest number of poor population (after the children)
Magnitude of poor women Poverty Incidence (%)
2000 2003
12.2 million 11.6 million
32.3 29.0
Gender differential still remains as an issue in economic participation

Economic participation - 80% for men versus 50% for women in 2006 Employment rate - 74% for men versus 46% for women in 2005

Poses a challenge to the country in achieving Goal 3 of the MDGs!

I. Introduction About the NSCB
The Philippine Statistical System is a decentralized statistical system Many agencies of government generate statistics NSO Bureau of Agricultural Statistics Bureau of Labor & Employment Statistics BSP DENR, DOT, DepED, CHED, DOH, DOST, etc.
Need for coordinating agency
Executive Order 121 Reorganizing the Philippine Statistical System and for Other Purposes
Issued on January 30, 1987
Created the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) as the highest policy-making and coordinating body on statistical matters in the country

II. Women in Poverty Official Poverty Statistics
Until 2007, official poverty estimates compiled by the NSCB are disaggregated by geographical location
- National - Regional - Provincial Still, one of the demands is poverty statistics at lower levels and sectoral disaggregation

Poverty statistics for the basic sectors

NSCB Resolution No. 11, Series of 2007, Approving the Methodology for the Generation of Poverty Statistics for the Basic Sectors
As an off-shoot of the NSCB project funded by the UNDP on the Development of Poverty Statistics for the Basic Sectors Project
Slide No. 10
Data sources
2000 and 2003 Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) 4th quarter 2000 and 2003 round of the Labor Force Survey (LFS) undertaken in January 2004 2000 Census of Population and Housing (CPH) 2000 and 2003 Philippine Poverty Statistics
Slide No. 11

Variable 1. Income 2. Sectoral characteristic of the population 3. Total population
Data source FIES was used for classifying households as poor or non-poor LFS was used to assign household members into sectors Estimated total population of the sector based on the FIES and LFS.
However, for years when the conduct of the CPH and FIES coincide, data from the CPH will be used (e.g., 2000) to estimate the total population for four sectors, namely, women, youth, children, and senior citizen. Otherwise, data from FIES will be used.
Slide No. 12
Both FIES and LFS follow the Integrated Survey of Households (ISH) sampling scheme, making the estimation of poverty incidence straightforward. For example, the poverty incidence for women is:
Number of poor women Poverty incidence women = ---------------------------------Total number of women

Highlights:
Poverty Incidence among the Population (Phils. 2003) 30.0
The poverty incidence for all sectors decreased from 2000 to 2003. The Senior Citizens, Fishermen and Farmers sectors exhibited the largest decreases. Three sectors were worse off than the countrys poverty incidence among the population of 30.0. These are the Children, Farmers and Fishermen sectors. In terms of magnitude of poor population, the Children, Women and Urban Sectors are the largest. Slide No. 15 JOEncarnacion Dec. 2007
Poverty incidence by sector and region, 2000 and 2003
Poverty Incidence among Women (Phils. 2003) 29.0
Highlights:
Region VII exhibited the largest decrease in poverty incidence while Region IX showed the largest increase from 2000 to 2003. CAR, ARMM, CARAGA, Regions I, IV-B, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI and XII were worse off than the national poverty incidence for the women sector. In terms of magnitude of poor women population, Regions IV-A, V and VI are the largest. Slide No. 16 JOEncarnacion Dec. 2007

Observed gender inequality in economic participation Hence, men have greater economic visibility and higher contribution to the economy, more participation in making economic decisions, and more access to credit Economic undercount of women thus puts them in a situation that can perpetuate, if not outright worsen the inequity between men and women Need for information on womens and mens contribution to the economy
