Chronic food poverty and weather variability in the Philippines
Issue Date
2017
Abstract
There are few studies in the Philippines that analyze poverty dynamics. Studies that examine the effects of weather variability on food poverty dynamics are even fewer. Because some sectors are more adversely affected by the changing weather patterns, an analysis on the effects of weather variability on poverty is so essential. Using a simple-spells approach to understanding the food poverty dynamics in the Philippines, this paper finds that deviation of rainfall from its normal values and other key variables such as education, employment, assets, and armed conflict affect chronic food poverty. The study concludes with a discussion on the policy implications.
