This study aims to develop an enhanced methodology for measuring poverty that accounts for unequal resource allocation and economies of scale within households. While the PSA, with the guidance of a Technical Committee on Poverty Statistics, is revising official poverty estimation methods, individual-level food consumption data collected by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) remains unutilized. The study will address the key question of how official poverty estimates in the Philippines would shift if methodologies accounted for practical economies of scale and real consumption requirements of individuals across various demographic profiles within households.
