FOREWORD
This publication presents the results of the 2016 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey
(APIS 2016). This survey round is the eleventh in a series of poverty surveys since
1998 and it is designed to provide information on the socio-economic profile of
families and other information related to their living condition.
The report aims to provide statistics to the planners and policy makers as inputs to
planning, assessment and evaluation of the various programs designed to reduce
poverty incidence in the country. The APIS offers data for general public,
researchers, or institutions which may be used for studies related to poverty and its
correlates like education; water, sanitation and housing; and employment.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) wishes to extend its sincerest gratitude to
the individuals and organizations who contributed to the successful completion of the
APIS 2016. Above all, we thank the thousand of households who generously shared
their time, effort and information during the data collection.

The 2016 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS) is the eleventh in a series
of poverty indicators survey conducted nationwide since 1998. The survey gathers
data that can be used to generate income and non-income based poverty indicators
to assess and monitor the poverty situation in the country. It was the third APIS that
utilized a more detailed set of questions that gather information about family income.
Sampling Design
The 2016 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS 2016) utilized the 2013
Master Sample (2013 MS) for household-based surveys of the Philippine Statistics
Authority (PSA). The 2013 MS is designed to produce reliable quarterly estimates of
selected indicators at the national and regional levels. The design can also provide
reliable province level estimates after completing four quarterly rounds.
In the 2013 MS, each sampling domain (i.e, province/HUC) is subdivided into
numbers of exhaustive and non-overlapping area segments known as Primary
Sampling Units (PSUs). Each PSU is formed to consist of about 100 to 400
households. A single PSU can be a barangay/Enumeration Area (EA) or a portion of
a large barangay or two or more adjacent small barangays/EAs. For the whole
country, about 81 thousand PSUs are formed from more than 42 thousand
barangays.
From the ordered list of PSUs, all possible systematic samples of 6 PSUs
were drawn to form a replicate for the most of the province domain or 75 out of 81
provinces. On the other hand, for the majority of highly urbanized cities, all possible
systematic samples of 8 PSUs will be drawn to form a replicate.
The APIS 2016 used one replicate of the quarterly sample of the MS or about
11,000 sample households deemed sufficient for national estimates.
Response Rate
Of the 10,642 eligible sample households for the APIS 2016, 10,332 were
successfully interviewed. This translated to a response rate of 97.1 percent at the
national level. The response rate is the ratio of the total households who were
completely interviewed to the total eligible households. Eligible households consisted
of households who were completely interviewed, refused to be interviewed,
temporarily away, not at home or on vacation, and those located in critical or flooded
areas during the survey period.
Data gathered from APIS are results of a sample survey and are therefore
subject to sampling variations, that is, sampling errors are expected since the data
are not obtained through complete enumeration or census.
Moreover, considering that both cash and non-cash expenditures and income
are gathered in APIS, valuation of non-cash income and expenditures may cause
some problems. The instructions are to use market prices prevailing in the locality
for goods and services received as gifts, and farm gate prices for goods consumed
from own production. However, market prices may not be available for all items in
the locality or market prices/farm gate prices may be highly unpredictable for
different localities.
Furthermore, data users attempting to match the APIS and the Family Income
and Expenditures Survey (FIES) should take note of the differences in the reference
period. The FIES is conducted in two visits covering the periods January to June and
July to December while the APIS covers January to June only.
Survey Questionnaire
Bottom 30% – The Bottom 30% refers to families in the bottom 30 percent of the
total income distribution arranged in descending order of the family per capita
income. This grouping of families was used as a proxy for those falling below the
poverty line.
Top 70% – The Upper 70 % refers to the upper 70 percent of the total families in the
income distribution arranged in descending order of the family per capita income. It
is the complement of the bottom 30 percent.
Family – Aggregate of persons bound by ties of kinship, who live together under the
same roof and eat together or share in common the family food. For the purpose of
this survey, a family can be classified as a nuclear family, extended family or a single
person family. For a household comprising of members who are not related with
each other by blood, marriage or adoption, only the head of the household is
considered. This case is a single person family.
Family head - An adult member of the family who is responsible for the care and
organization of the family or who is regarded as such by the members of the family.
Work - Any activity a person does for pay, profit or without pay on family farm or
enterprise, or an activity done by a farm operator or member of his family on
another’s farm on “exchange labor” arrangement. In addition, any activity that a
person does during the reference period in relation to minor activities such as home
gardening, raising of crops or fruit bearing trees, raising hogs/poultry, and fishing for
home consumption, and manufacturing for home use are also considered as work.
Floor area - The area enclosed by the exterior walls of the housing unit. In case of
several floors, the area of the housing unit is the sum of areas of all floors.
Family income - total family income includes primary income and receipts from
other sources received by all family members during January to June 2016, as
participants in any economic activity or as recipients of transfers, pensions or grants.
Primary income includes: salaries and wages, commissions, tips, bonuses, family
and clothing allowances, transportation and representation allowances, honoraria,
and other forms of compensation; and net receipts derived from the operation of
family-operated enterprises or activities, and practice of a profession or trade.
Proportion of families with access to safe water supply – The ratio of the
number of families who access water from community water system (piped into their
dwelling, yard/plot or public tap) and protected wells to the total number of families.
Proportion of families with sanitary toilet – The ratio of the number of families
with flush toilet (either owned or shared) and close pit to the total number of families.
Proportion of families with houses made of strong materials – The ratio of the
number of families with houses having roofs and outer walls made of strong
materials such as galvanized iron/aluminum, tile, concrete, bricks stone and
asbestos to the total number of families.
Proportion of families with gainfully employed family head – The ratio of the
number of families with a family head who is gainfully employed to the total number
of families.
Proportion of families with gainfully employed members 18 years old and over
– The ratio of the number of families with gainfully employed members 18 years old
and over to the total number of families with members 18 years old and over.
Proportion of families with children 6-11 years old in elementary – The ratio of
the number of families with children 6-11 years old attending Grade I to Grade VI to
the total number of families with children 6-11 years old.
Proportion of families with children 12-15 years old in high school – The ratio of
the number of families with children 12-15 years old attending Grade VII to Grade X
to the total number of families with children 12-15 years old.
Proportion of families with members 5-17 years old who are working – The ratio
of the number of families with children 5-17 years old who are working to the total
number of families with children 5-17 years old.
Results of the survey are presented in this report using the Bottom 30% and
Top 70% income strata. These strata were formed according to families per capita
income arranged from highest to lowest, wherein the first stratum is composed of
families whose income fall or at the bottom 30% while the second group comprised
of families belonging to the top 70% of the income bracket.
Information on the family size and characteristics of the family head can
provide information about the economic status of a family.

Around one in every four (26.8%) family heads had at least completed high
school education. Specifically, about 13.4 percent attended/finished post secondary
education or reached college but did not finish it, and 11.1 percent completed college
or higher level of education.
The survey showed that a higher proportion of female heads (26.2%) had at
least reached college level compared to their male (18.4%) counterpart. Only
around one in every 10 male heads (9.6%) were college graduate or higher vis-à-vis
the 16.4 percent among female heads. Heads of families belonging to the Bottom
30% income stratum tend to attain lower level of education than the family heads
among the Top 70% group. About 4.7 percent of family heads in the Bottom 30%
had at least college education compared with 26.6 percent in the Top 70% group
(Table 1).

B. HOUSING CHARACTERISTICS
The data on family’s housing characteristics can indicate the health and
economic well being of families. In the APIS 2016, the tenure status of housing unit
and lot, the floor area of housing unit, type of building or house and the construction
materials of the roof and outer walls of the building were asked. Questions on the
presence of electricity, main source of water supply, type of toilet facility used by the
family were also included.
In 2016 nearly 6 in 10 families (61.0%) own the house and lot they occupied.
The remaining 39 percent occupied houses and lots under the following tenure: own
house, rent-free lot with consent of owner (17.3%), rent house/room including lot
(10.1%), rent-free house and lot with consent of owner (7.2%), own house, rent-free
lot without consent of owner (2.3%), own house, rent lot (1.4%), or rent-free house
and lot without consent of owner (less than one percent). Among families in the
Bottom 30% stratum, 53.7 percent owned their house and lot, while 64.2 percent
among families in the Top 70% group.

B.5 Electricity
Almost all families have electricity in their homes. About 91.4 percent of
families in the country have electricity in their homes, on the other hand, very few
families does not have electricity. Four-fifth of families (79.8%) in the Bottom 30%
stratum had electricity in their homes (Table 7).
undeveloped spring (3.2%), river, stream, pond, lake or dam and rainwater (less than
one percent), and tanker truck or peddler or neighbor (3.2 %). Seven out of 10
families in the Bottom 30% stratum had access to safe source of water supply
compared to nine in every 10 in the Top 70% group of families.

In this survey, persons who were enrolled in the school year covering June
2016 to March 2017 were considered as attending school. School refers to formal
schools, including vocational/technical schools offering post-secondary courses.
Information on attendance in school of family members 3 to 5 years old was included
to capture early childhood educational learning in schools like nursery, kindergarten
and preparatory schools.
Of the total number of persons aged 3 to 24 years who were attending school,
28.4 percent, were children aged 6 to 9 years. Those in age group 10 to 12 years
comprised 20.8 percent, and those aged 13 to 16 years, 25.5 percent.
Persons of school age in families belonging to the Top 70% were more likely
to pursue higher education than those in the Bottom 30% population. While 15.2
percent of the school age populations in the Top 70% families were attending college
or post graduate schools, the corresponding proportion in the Bottom 30%
population was 4.1 percent (Table 12). The proportion of those attending Grade I to
Grade VI was higher among the persons of school age in the Bottom 30% population
compared to Top 70% population with 54.3 percent and 40.6 percent, respectively.

The most common reasons for not attending school were marriage or family
matters (25.9%), employment or looking for work (25.8%), high cost of education or
financial concern (16.4%), and lack of personal interest (15.3%). These were also
the most common reasons reported by members of families who were not attending
school in the Bottom 30% population: marriage or family matters (31.1%), high cost
of education or financial concern (21.4%), lack of personal interest (20.7%), and
employment or looking for work (17.1%). Among the Top 70% population, reasons
were employment or looking for work (31.8%), marriage or family matters (22.2%),
finished schooling or finished post secondary or college (18.4%), and high cost of
education or financial concern (12.9%).

A total of 9.8 million families with children aged 6 to 11 years were recorded in
the survey. Of this number, 9.5 million or 96.4 percent had children who were
enrolled in Grade I to Grade VI (Table 14). The proportion of families with children
aged 6 to 11 years who were enrolled in Grade I to Grade VI in SY 2016-2017 was
nearly similar for the Bottom 30% families and the Top 70% families with 96.5% and
96.4% respectively.

Of the 7.0 million families with children aged 12 to 15 years, 81.4 percent or
about 6.0 million families were reported having children in this age bracket who were
in Grade VII to Grade X (Table 15). Among families with children aged 12 to 15
years in the Top 70% income stratum, 87.7 percent were enrolled in junior high
school; the corresponding percentage in the Bottom 30% income stratum is 73.1
percent.

D. ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS
In the 2016 APIS, a family member was considered employed if he or she had
worked or had a job or business at anytime during the reference semester, that is,
from January 1 to June 30, 2016. A work is defined as any economic activity that a
person does for pay, profit or without pay on family farm or enterprise, or an activity
done by a farm operator or member of his/her family on another’s farm on “exchange
labor” arrangement.
Of the total 23.8 million families with at least one member aged 18 years and
over, 92.4 percent or 22.0 million were employed during the reference semester
(Table 16). Percentage of Families with members aged 18 years and over who were
employed was higher in the Bottom 30% group of families (95.5%) compared to Top
70% families (91.2%).
Table 16. Families with Members Aged 18 Years or Over Who are Employed by Income Stratum, Philippines 2016
The Labor Code of the Philippines specifies that no child below 18 years old
shall be employed except when he/she works directly under the sole responsibility of
his parents/guardian and his/her employment does not in any way interfere with
his/her schooling. Although the survey results would not show whether the conditions
stated above are met, results would show the proportion or number of families with
children aged below 18 years who are working.
Of the 14.9 million families with members aged 5 to 17 years, 9.0 percent or
about 1.3 million families were reported to have working children (Table 17). Among
the Bottom 30% families with members aged 5 to 17 years, 14.2 percent had
working children while 5.8 percent had working children among the Top 70%
families.
Table 17. Families with Members aged 5 to 17 Years Who are Employed by Income Stratum, Philippines 2016
The three major economic activities that contribute to a family’s income are:
