Test your knowledge!1. Name one province where one
out of every two individuals is considered poor.
2. How much should a family of 5 persons be earning per month to be considered non-poor?
3. What percent of the Philippine population is considered poor?
![Page 3: Measuring Philippine Poverty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/5587e3abd8b42a65068b46ac/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When is a person considered poor? A poor person is someone who
earns income below the official poverty line or poverty threshold.
The poverty line measures the income needed to obtain basic and non-basic needs for one year.
![Page 4: Measuring Philippine Poverty](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062514/5587e3abd8b42a65068b46ac/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How does the government compute for the poverty line?1. The government constructs a menu per
region that satisfies basic nutritional requirements. The government computes for the cost of that menu. (ex. P43)
2. The government computes for the proportion of income that is budgeted for food using survey data. (ex. 66%)
3. The figure obtained in #1 is divided by the figure obtained in #2. (ex. P43 / 66% = P65)

Alternative questions for assessing poverty How much income do you have? How much income do you have
relative to others? Do you feel poor? Do you have access to basic needs? What is the quality of life you are
able to lead?
