Torres, Iziah Andrei D. VII- Galilei
Abstract
This study proposes to evaluate public attitudes toward poverty, attributions for poverty, and support for public programs and policies aimed at eliminating poverty. It will examine public perception, differences in attitudes about the causes of poverty, and support for programs and policies across key demographic groups, including race, income level, and political voting preference.
Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Poverty and inequality in the Philippines remains a challenge. In the past four decades, the proportion of households living below the official poverty line has declined slowly and unevenly and poverty reduction has been much slow.
Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth, are considered some of the key factors constraining poverty reduction efforts.
1.2 Statement of the problem
1. Why Philippines is drowning in poverty?
2. What are the areas in the Philippines who has the highest Poverty Rate?
3. What are the different difficulties face by the Filipinos that lead to poverty?
4. What can we do to escape or somehow eliminate poverty?
5. What are the measures done by the government to solve poverty in the Philippines ?
