More Filipinos claim that things are better than they were a year ago.
According to a recent Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, at least 34% of adult Filipinos think their quality of life has improved since last year.
In the face-to-face interviews with 1,200 individuals conducted as part of the national SWS survey from December 10 to December 14, 2022, 26% of respondents reported that their lives had gotten worse while 39% reported that they had remained the same.
According to the pollster, the percentage of Net Gainers, or those who said that their lives had improved since the previous year, is +8, which is calculated by deducting the percentage of Losers from Gainers, and is rated as “high.”
Despite being 10 points down from the pre-pandemic level of “very high” +18 in December 2019, SWS reported that the December 2022 Net Gainer score was up from the “fair” levels of net zero in October 2022 and -2 in June 2022 and April 2022.
The SWS reported that rises in all regions, particularly in Mindanao, were responsible for the 8-point increase in the national Net Gainer score between October 2022 and December 2022.
Net Gainers in Metro Manila increased by nine points, from +9 to +18, to go from high to very high.
Gainers in equilibrium in Luzon also increased from high to very high by two points, or from +8 to +10.
In the Visayas, it improved from good to excellent, gaining 9 points from -13 to -4, while in Mindanao, it improved dramatically from excellent to very high, gaining 21 points from -11 to +10.
“Since April 1983, 147 surveys have asked respondents to rate how their quality of life has changed during the previous 12 months. The Net Gainer score had historically been negative until 2015 when it began to improve until a sharp decline that started with the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. Since then, however, it has not yet returned to its pre-pandemic levels “the SWS reported.
According to SWS, net gainers were fair among non-elementary graduates and elementary graduates, but very high among college graduates and junior high school graduates.
People whose families were not going hungry were more likely to be net gainers.
