PIDS: Maaaring mahirap pa rin ang mga ‘non-poor’ na Pilipino

Sinabi ng Philippine Institute for Development Studies na maaaring mahirap pa rin ang mga Pilipinong iniuugnay na ‘non-poor’ dahil hindi naaabot ng kasalukuyang pamamaraan ng pagsukat ang pagbabahagi ng yaman sa loob ng sambahayan. Ayon sa mga pag-aaral na ipinamaya sa isang webinar, ang paggamit ng average na kita ng bahay ay nagtatago ng hindi pagkakapantay-pantay sa loob ng pamilya. Lalo na ang mga kababaihan at bata ang maaaring nakararanas ng kahirapan kahit hindi mahirap ang kanilang sambahayan.

MANILA — Inihayag ng Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) kahapon na maaari nang hindi makita ng opisyal na estadistika ang totoong kahirapan dahil sa hindi pagkakapantay-pantay na pamamahagi ng kita sa loob ng mga sambahayan.

Sa isang webinar, ipinamaya ng mga mananaliksang pinangunahan ni supervising research specialist Deanne Lorraine Cabalfin ang pag-aaral na ‘Measuring Poverty within Filipino Households: Examining Resources Sharing and Economic Scale.’ Ayon dito, ang mga kababaihan ay nakakakuha lamang ng 25 hanggang 43 porsiyento ng yaman ng sambahayan, habang ang mga bata naman ay 7 hanggang 19 porsiyento lamang, lalo na sa malalaking pamilya. “Official figures assume that every household member receives an equal slice of income. This design makes intra-household inequality invisible, and systematically misses the gender gap,” ani Cabalfin.

Dagdag pa nito, “Many children that may be living in non-poor households may, in fact, be considered poor.”

Ayon naman kay PIDS senior research fellow Jose Ramon Albert, maraming pamilya na hindi opisyal na mahirap ay maaaring mahulog sa kahirapan, kabilang ang mga mababang kita, rural at gitnang uri. “Our point here is that we don’t just need to reduce poverty, but we need to prevent households from becoming poor in the future,” sabi niya. Si Christian Deloria ng BRAC International ay sumang-ayon na ito ay global na pattern.

Ang Department of Social Welfare and Development ay nagsabing kailangang palakasin ang social protection systems batay sa mga natuklasan.
