POPULATION, FAMILIES and HOUSEHOLDS

The Philippines is among the most populous countries in the world, ranking 12th globally, 7th in Asia, and 2nd in the Southeast Asia. Its population continues to balloon with an annual growth rate of 2.04 percent. In the final results of the latest Census of Population (POPCEN 2007) conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO), the Philippine population is placed at 88,574,614 persons as of August 1, 2007.

The 2000 Census of Population and Housing conducted by the National Statistics Office (NSO) yielded a sex ratio of 101.4, which means that for every 100 females there were 101 males. The population of women in childbearing ages (15-49 years) was recorded at 19.4 million or 51.04 percent. The highest percentage was in the 15 to 19 years age group at 10.53 percent. The 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted by NSO indicated a steady decline in fertility at 3.3 children per woman from 3.5 in 2003 and 6.0 in 1973. The 2008 fertility rate, although declining, was relatively high compared with the fertility levels in other Southeast Asian countries.

The 2008 NDHS showed that women in poor households had the tendency to bear more children than those who are well-off. The wealth index showed that women in the poorest households bear more children at an average of 5.2 children per woman compared to an average of 1.9 children per woman in the wealthiest households. These figures, however, are lower compared with the 2003 NDHS at 5.9 and 2.0 children per woman respectively. The results also showed that women who only reached elementary level bear an average of 4.5 children, about twice the TFR of those with college education with 2.3 children. In 2003 NDHS, the figures were higher at 5.3 and 2.7 children per woman respectively. Between 1970 and 2008 the number of female-headed households slightly increased. The population census and other household surveys revealed an increasing trend in the percentage of female-headed households: 10.0 percent in 1970; 11.3 percent in 1990; 12.2 percent in 1995; 13.5 percent in 2000; 15.4 percent in 2003; and 16.6 in 2008. The average size of Filipino households slightly declined from 5.07 persons in 1995 to 5.0 persons in 2000. In 1995, female-headed households on the average had a size of 4 persons; male-headed households had 5.2. .. o 0 o ..
LABOR and EMPLOYMENT

The result of the October 2009 Labor Force Survey (LFS) showed an increase in the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) for females at 49.3% (from 48.6% in 2008), and a very slight decrease for males at 78.8% (from 78.9% in 2008). The number of employed and unemployed Filipinos in October 2008 were estimated at 34.5 million and 2.5 million respectively. Female employment was estimated at 13.3 million compare to 21.3 million males. Female unemployment rate for the same year was relatively lower at 6.5% which is equivalent to 929 thousand compare to male at 7.0% which is estimated at 1.6 million.

The October 2008 LFS also shows that employed men who attended or completed high school or elementary are estimated at 40.2 percent and 35.1 percent respectively, higher than that of employed women at 36.4 percent and 28.1 percent respectively. Among employed women, 33.7 percent attended or finished college which is higher compare to employed men at 22.8 percent. The October 2007 LFS estimated a total of 33.7 million employed and 2.2 million unemployed population, 15 years old and over. Employed women were estimated at 12.9 million while unemployed women were estimated at 821 thousand Of the total 12.8 million employed women in October 2006, around 3.5 million (27.7%) were single; 7.9 million (61.6%) were married; and 1.4 million (10.7%) were widowed/divorced/separated. As to the 20.4 million employed men, 6 million (29.3%) were single; 13.8 million (67.8%) were married; and 590 thousand (2.9%) were widowed/divorced/ separated. Contrary to the standard, not all employed women and men were paid. There is, in fact, an increasing trend of unpaid workers over the past years. In October 2006, unpaid family workers in own family business or enterprise were estimated at 4.3 million in the agriculture, industry and services sectors from 3.7 million in 2003. Of the total figures, 2.4 million (55.8%) were unpaid women workers while only 1.9 million (44.2%) were unpaid male workers. A large fraction of the unpaid workers, both women and men, were laborers and unskilled workers (78.4%) in the agriculture sector (73.7%). .. o 0 o ..
OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT
The 2008 Survey on Overseas Filipinos (SOF) conducted by the National Statistics Office estimated a total of 2.0 million Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) deployed all over the world during the period April to September 2008. There was a significant 14.6 percent increase over the previous years estimate of 1.75 million OFWs.

Of the 2 million OFWs in 2008, female OFWs were estimated at 968 thousand (48.4%) or an increase of 13 percent from the 857 thousand estimated female OFWs in 2007. Male OFWs accounted for 51.6 percent or roughly 1 million of the total OFWs in 2008. There was also an increase of 16.2 percent from the estimated 890 thousand male OFWs in 2007.

Female OFWs in 2008 were generally younger than males. Around 49.1 percent female OFWs were aged 25 to 34 years while only 44.6 percent male OFWs are of the same age groups. There is a slight decrease of younger female OFWs because in 2007, an estimated 50.1 percent of the total female OFWs belonged to the 25 to 34 age group. Luzon remains the major supplier of Overseas Filipino Workers. In 2008, the top three suppliers of female OFWs were CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon), NCR (Metro Manila), and Central Luzon with 14.6 percent, 11.7 percent, and 11.7 percent respectively. The same trend was true in 2007 with 13.8 percent, 12.5 percent, and 10.9 percent respectively. Likewise, the same regions were the top suppliers of male OFWs both in 2008 and 2007. United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Hongkong were the top three countries of destination of OFWs. Of the total 968 thousand female OFWs in 2008, 16.5 percent were in United Arab Emirates, 14.4 percent in Saudi Arabia and 11.4 percent in Hongkong;. In the 2007 figure of 857 thousand female OFWs, United Arab Emirates accounted for 13.9 percent; Hongkong with 12.4 percent; and Saudi Arabia with 12.1 percent. As to male OFWs, Saudi Arabia continues to dominate with 25.9 percent in 2008 and 27.1 percent in 2007. Second is United Arab Emirates with around 12.8 percent and 10.4 percent of the total male OFWs in 2008 and 2007 respectively. The 2008 and 2007 estimates, somehow, may give hint why Filipinos abroad are generally accorded with low regard or even get discriminated. In 2008, 54.7 percent of the total female OFWs were laborers and unskilled workers, slightly lower compared with 2007 at 58.3 percent. On the other hand, an estimated 51.5 percent and 49.3 percent of male OFWs in 2008 and 2007, respectively, were trades and related workers / plant and machine operators and assemblers. Remittances from female OFWs worldwide were relatively lower than their male counterpart. Of the total Php 141.9 billion estimated OFW remittances for the period April to September 2008, around 35 percent (Php 49.7 billion) came from female OFWs. For the same period in 2007, 32.5 percent (Php 35.6 billion) of the Php 109.8 billion OFW remittances were from female OFWs.

POLITICS and GOVERNANCE

Partial results (as of September 2010) of this years national election show that around 18 percent of the elected posts are won by women candidates, slightly higher than the 17 percent turnout in 2007. However, the share of women who actually voted to the total number of registered voters who actually voted is lower (47%) compared to the 2007 results (50%) and 2004 results (51%). In 2007 Senatorial election, there were 4 women out of 37 hopefuls (10.8%), of which only 1 entered in the top 12 winning senators (8.3%). Women participation in the senatorial election in 2004 was higher at 20.8 percent (10 out of 48 senatorial candidates) with 3 women elected (25.0%). There were 51 women Representatives of the 14th Congress (2007 national election). It accounted for 21.25 percent of the total 240 Representatives as members of the Lower House. During the 13th Congress, only 37 women had secured representations in the Congress which was lower at 15.74 percent of the total 235 seats. A womens rights organization has secured party-list representation in Congress since 2004. Civil society/private sector organizations that carry the agenda of marginalized sectors vie for a limited number of seats in the House of Representatives. In 2007 national election, a total of 21 Party-list Representatives were given seats in the House of Congress, two represented a womens organization Gabriela Womens Party (GWP) which also won in the 2004 national election. Moreover, of the total 21 elected Party-list Representatives, 6 or 28.57 percent are women. This is higher than the 2004 figure which was only 17.39 percent (4 women out of 23 elected Party-list Representatives). The participation of women in the judiciary is also dismal. In 2001, 20 percent of the total incumbent judges in the first and second level courts, including Sharia courts, were women, although it increased to 24 percent in 2002; 25 percent in 2003; and 26 percent in 2004. In the Supreme Court, there were 3 women out of 15 justices in 2001; 4 out of 15 in 2002; 4 out of 14 in 2003; 5 out of 15 in 2004; and 5 out of 15 in 2007.

Statistics on women lawyers showed a decreasing trend of disparity from its male counterpart. In 2001, the percentage of women bar passers was 40.44 percent (512). It decreased in 2002 at 39.04 percent (358) but increased in 2003, 2004, and 2005 at 43.68 percent (484), 46.31 percent (765), and 48.27 percent (724) respectively. Women dominate the bureaucracy especially the technical or second-level. Based on the 2004 data of the Civil Service Commission, women make up the majority of the bureaucracy, accounting for 58.7 percent of the total 1.31 million government personnel. As of August 2010, the percentage of women occupying CES positions (3rd level positions) is 41.3 percent which is slightly lower than the 42.4 percent reported in January 2010. Women in the bureaucracy are likely to be technical personnel and men are likely to be clerks or managers/executives.

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

In 2009 the number of VAW cases reported to the police rose by 37.4 percent from the 2008 report. The increase caused the trend to go upward after a six-year downward trend from 2001 to 2006. For the past thirteen years since 1997, the trend peaked at a record high of 9,132 VAW cases in 2001.

The trend, however, is not conclusive of a decreasing or increasing VAW incidence in the country because data are based only from what was reported to PNP. Physical injuries and/or wife battering remains to be the most prevalent case across the twelve-year period, from 19972009, accounting nearly half (45.5%) of all reported VAW cases nationwide. Reported incidence of physical injuries and/or wife battering has been decreasing in the latter years. Its peak was in 2001 at 5,668 reported cases. The decrease can be partly attributed to the enactment into law of RA 9262 or Anti-VAWC Act of 2004 which penalizes abusive husbands and live-in partners. Since 2004, wife battering cases have been categorized under Violation of RA 9262 that is, if the victim files a case under such law, otherwise the reported cases will fall under wife battering/physical injuries category.

Violation of RA 9262 ranked second at 17.8 percent. However, data cover only a six-year period starting from its implementation in 2004. Reported cases under RA 9262 continue to increase from 218 in 2004 to 5,285 cases in 2009. Massive information campaign on the law and its strict implementation may have caused the increasing trend. Reported rape cases which ranked third accounted for about 13.1 percent of total reported VAW cases from 1999 to 2009. There is also a downward trend on reported rape cases from 946 in 1999 to 770 in 2009. Its peak was in 2000 at 1,121 reported cases. Acts of lasciviousness ranked fourth at an average of 564 reported cases accounting for 8.1 percent of all reported VAW cases from 1999 to 2009. The comparative figures now indicate an upward trend of the reported cases after a record low of 382 reported cases in 2006. Among the regions, Region 11 (Davao) posted the highest reported VAW cases from January to December 2009 with 2,653 reported cases, accounting 28 percent of the total reported VAW cases nationwide. NCR comes next at 1,393 (14.7%) reported VAW cases followed by Region 7 (Central Visayas) with 1,123 reported VAW cases or 11.8 percent of the total reported VAW cases nationwide. The Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) posted the lowest reported VAW cases with only 33 cases in 2009.

HEALTH and FAMILY PLANNING

Life expectancy is one of the indicators of human development. Current female life expectancy at birth rose by 1.5 years while current male life expectancy at birth rose by 2.0 years from the 20002005 projections. The current projected female life expectancy remains higher at 71.64 years compared to men at 66.11 years (2005-2010 projection, NSO). The Family Planning Survey (FPS) conducted by NSO in 2006 revealed that for every 100,000 live births in the Philippines, 162 women die during pregnancy and childbirth or shortly after childbirth.

The ratio of maternal deaths to live births slightly declined in 2006 from an estimate of 172 deaths from the National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) in 1998, and 209 deaths from the National Demographic Survey (NDS) conducted in 1993. At 22 percent decrease rate from the 1990 baseline, the decrease of the current maternal mortality ratio is still far from the 53 deaths MDG target for 2015. In 2006, 6 out of 10 married women, 15 to 49 years old, were at risk of conceiving a child with an elevated risk of mortality. These women were considered at risk either because they were impregnated at an early age (less than 18 years) or too old (age 35 or older) or have more than 3 previous births at an unacceptably short birth interval (under 24 months). The estimate was higher than the 2005 estimate of 50.6 percent (around 5 out of 10 women). In 2006, 51 in every 100 women or 50.6 percent of child-bearing age were using a family planning method. For women who are using modern methods, the 2006 estimate was 35.9 percent (around 36 for every 100 women) from the previous 36.0 percent in 2005. Traditional methods such as Withdrawal, Calendar/Rhythm/Periodic Abstinence, etc. were still used by women with 14.8 percent (around 15 for every 100 women) in 2006 and 13.2 percent in 2005.

Contraceptive Use: 2004 - 2006


Fact Sheet
Filipino and
Sept.2010
The most preferred contraceptive method used by women in 2006 is pills at 16.6 percent with a slight decrease from 17.1 percent in 2005. Female sterilization came next at 10.4 percent, which slightly increased from 9.4 percent in 2005. The public sector continues to be the main provider of modern family planning methods in 2006. For female ligation, 7 out of 10 women had their operations in government hospitals; 8 out of 10 women had their IUD in public facilities; and 9 out of 10 women had their injectables also from public facilities. Pills (7 out of 10 users) and condoms (8 out of 10 users) were purchased/acquired in the private sector. The 2008 NDHS revealed that most pregnant women (91.1%) received antenatal care from skilled providers like doctors, nurses and midwives. About 39.1 percent of them received care from medical doctors, 50.6 percent received care from midwives, 1.4 percent from nurses, 5.0 percent from hilots, while 3.8 percent of pregnant women received no antenatal care at all. The 2006 FPS also revealed that 6 out of 10 birth deliveries or 56.5 percent occurred at home; 27.1 percent (3 out of 10) in public health facilities; and 15.3 percent (2 out of 10) in private health facilities. Most birth deliveries occurring at home were attended by Hilots (traditional midwives) at 50.4 percent (5 out of 10 birth deliveries). Likewise, medical doctors were the leading birth attendants in cities and other urban areas at 50.9 percent (5 out of 10 birth deliveries). The 2003 National Nutrition Survey revealed the prevalence of 5 nutrition-related and lifestyle risk factors, namely 1) dyslipidemia, 2) diabetes 3) hypertension 4) smoking and 5) obesity. Based on the results, hypertension remained relatively high. Smoking is the most common lifestyle risk factor. The prevalence of smoking in women is relatively low at 12.1 percent compared to that of men at 56.3 percent. On the same note, 26.6 percent of pregnant women and 11.7 percent lactating women are underweight. Anemia remains a health problem among pregnant and lactating women at 43.9 percent and 42.2 percent respectively. From January to December 2009, the Department of Health recorded 835 HIV Ab Seropositive cases, 806 of which are asymptomatic and 29 are full-blown AIDS, 1 of which already died. The DOHs HIV/AIDS Registry documented a total of 4,424 reported cases of HIV Ab Seropositive from January 1984 to December 2009. Of the total reported cases, 3,592 (8 out of 10) were asymptomatic or in a stage of chronic infection during which there are no symptoms of HIV infection, and 832 (2 out of 10) were full-blown AIDS resulting to 318 documented deaths.

As of December 2009, women with HIV/AIDS were recorded at 1,181 cases (26.76%) with 58.37 percent belonging to 25-39 age group and another 21.60 percent in the 15-24 age group. HIV/AIDS cases for men were higher at 3,232 cases (73.24%) with 58.92 percent aged 25-39 years and 14.87 percent aged 15-24 years. There were 11 cases with no reported age and gender. Of the total 4,424 HIV Seropositive cases, 1,348 were OFWs, of which 3 out of 10 were women. Sexual intercourse was still the leading mode of transmission accounting for 99 percent of the total cases and nearly 100 percent of the OFW cases. Heterosexual intercourse accounted for 55 percent; homosexual intercourse, 29 percent; and bisexual intercourse, 15 percent.

EDUCATION
The 2003 Functional Literacy, Education and Mass Media Survey results showed that 8 out of 100 (more than 2 million) Filipino women and 11 out of 100 (around 3 million) Filipino men cannot read and write. There were an estimated 5 million illiterates of the 58 million Filipinos 10 to 64 years old during that period.

0.0 Women who are considered basically literate 1990 1994 2000 2003 (those who can only read and write) were Simple Literacy Rates: 1990 - 2003 estimated at 26 million (90 for every 100 women), higher than men at an estimated 25 million (87 for every 100 men). This fact is evident in the elementary and high school completion rates where females were consistently higher than males.
Aside from acquiring basic literacy, women with numerical skills (functional literacy) were estimated at 25 million (86 for every 100 women), also higher than men with numerical skill estimated at 24 million (82 for every 100 men).

Another requisite of functional literacy aside from the basic reading, writing and numerical skill is the ability to communicate and comprehend. In 2003, there were an estimated 20 million (69 in every 100) women in this level of functional literacy while men in this level were estimated at 18 million only (63 in every 100). Girls have fared better in terms of enrolment indicators in elementary and secondary education. At public elementary level during the school year 2008-2009, female Net Enrollment Ratio (NER) was computed at 85.71 percent while male NER was a little bit low at 84.56 percent. This means that there were around 14 in every 100 girls and 15 in every 100 boys aged 6 to 11 who did not go to school in that period. The Gender Parity Index (GPI) which is used to assess differences between girls and boys enrollment is computed at 1.01 (101 girls in every 100 boys) which means that more girls had enrolled in elementary education than boys in that period. The Net Enrollment Ratio in the public secondary level during the same school year was lesser compare to elementary level. Female NER was only 65.18 percent (65 in every 100 girls) while male NER was 56.39 percent (56 in every 100 boys) aged 12 to 15 years. There was a greater disparity between girls and boys in high school at 1.16 GPI which is equivalent to 116 girls in every 100 boys. The completion rates for SY 2008-2009 indicated that more girls were able to complete the prescribed number of years in both elementary and secondary education. The completion rate of females at the elementary level was 77.89 percent (78 in every 100 girls), while male completion rate was 69.13 percent (69 in every 100 boys) with 1.13 GPI (113 girls in every 100 boys). The completion rate of female in the secondary level is higher at 79.94 percent (80 in every 100 girls) compared to that of male at 70.44 percent (70 in every 100 boys) with gender disparity at 1.13 GPI or equivalent to 113 girls in every 100 boys. Average Dropout Rate (ADR) at the elementary level was lower for female at 4.87 percent compared to male ADR at 7.07 percent. This means that 5 in every 100 girls and 7 in every 100 boys failed to finish the school year 2008-2009. The Gender Parity Index is computed at 0.69 which implies that only 69 girls in every 100 boys dropped out in that period. For the last school year, 2006-2007, the recorded number of enrollees in government Madrasah elementary school reached a total of 240,072 students. It accounted barely for 2 percent of the total enrollment for that period. Females were recorded at 126,213 (52.57%) while males at 113,859 (47.43%). The number of high school students in Madrasah schools was very minimal compared to elementary data. The recorded number was only 34,241 with females accounting for 57.24 percent while males at 42.76 percent.

For the same school year, the number of students in the elementary level who belong to the indigenous peoples was 337,616 or barely 3 percent of the total enrolment in the elementary level. Females were a bit less than males at 167,610 (49.65%). High school records showed a total of 86,771 students from the indigenous peoples, of which 53.76 percent (46,644) were females. For higher education enrollment during the school year 2005-2006, females accounted for more than half of the total 2,483,645 enrollees at 54.48 percent compared to males at 45.52 percent. In terms of school preference, 6 in every 10 women and 7 in every 10 men preferred to enroll in private universities and colleges than in public. For the same school year, Medical and Allied Discipline posted the highest percentage of female enrollees at 27.44 percent followed by Business Administration and Related Discipline at 24.35 percent. In the preceding school year, Business Administration and Related Discipline posted the highest percentage of female enrollees at 24.77 percent followed by Medical and Allied Discipline at 23.25 percent. The increasing number of students, both female and male, who took up nursing courses, may have caused this surge. Among the 263,634 graduates for school year 2005-2006, female graduates accounted for 56.61 percent (149,246) while males accounted for 43.39 percent (114,388). Business Administration and Related Discipline produced 48,369 (18.35%) female graduates while Medical and Allied Discipline produced 37,371 (14.18%) female graduates. Education and Teacher Training which came third produced 24,523 (9.30%) female graduates. Among women enrollees and graduates in vocational courses from July 2005-August 2006, Housekeeping and Guestroom Maintenance accounted for the highest number at 13.27 percent and 14.07 percent respectively. Jewelry making accounted for the least number of enrollees at 7.40 percent and graduates at 6.73 percent. As of July 2010, the percentage of licensed professional women was higher at 63.7 percent than licensed professional men at 36.3 percent (1,860,901 vs. 1,060,404). And off the total 1,860,901 professional women, Teachers accounted for the highest percentage at 44 percent (819,377), followed by Nurses at 27 percent (504,902). Among the women dominated professions, Midwives top the list followed by Nutri-Dietitians, Social Workers, Pharmacists, Librarians, Guidance Counselors, Dental Hygienists, Interior Designers, Teachers, and Nurses. In the school year 2008-2009, data reveal that 89.58 percent of the public elementary school teachers are female; only 10.42 percent are male teachers. In the public secondary schools, 77.06 percent are female; only 22.94 percent are male teachers.
