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

Data source
1. Income
FIES was used for classifying households as poor
or non-poor
2. Sectoral
characteristic of the
population
LFS was used to assign household members into
sectors
3. Total population
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.

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

•
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 women’s and men’s contribution
to the economy
