Register-based Measurements of Poverty and Social Exclusion
(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-09-19) World Bank
The European Union (EU) has consistently acknowledged the critical challenge posed by poverty and social exclusion, formulating comprehensive strategies and dedicating substantial financial resources to address these issues within its member states. At the Porto Social Summit in 2021, EU leaders, institutions and social partners agreed to put social at the heart of EU policies. They reaffirmed their commitment to the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), which, as part of its Action Plan, aims to bring at least 15 million people out of the risk of poverty and social exclusion by 2030. Achieving this goal requires a holistic approach that addresses people’s needs at all stages of life and tackles the root causes of poverty and social exclusion. EU funding is crucial in this strategy, with significant resources made through various channels, including the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), the Recovery and Resilience Fund (RRF) and the EU Technical Support Instrument (TSI). The ERDF is dedicated to strengthening economic, social and territorial cohesion. Meanwhile, the ESF+ serves as the EU’s primary instrument for promoting employment and social inclusion. The RRF supports Member States to deal with the aftermath of COVID-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The EU TSI assists Member States in designing and implementing reforms across various policy areas to address the Country Specific Recommendations within the European Semester framework and implement the RRP. Together, these funds form the financial backbone for the EU’s effort to create a more inclusive society where all individuals have the opportunity to engage fully in economic, social, and cultural activities. This report is the second in a two-part series with an overarching goal of supporting the Ministry of Labor, Pension System, Family, and Social Policy (MLPSFSP) to develop a methodology to regularly track poverty and social exclusion at the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) or Local Administrative Units (LAU) level.
No Data, No Story: Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines
(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-05-01) World Bank
Indigenous Peoples (IPs) are culturally distinct societies and communities. The Philippines is one of the few Asian countries that officially uses the term “Indigenous Peoples,” and IP rights are fully recognized under the Constitution and Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA). While the limited available evidence suggests that IPs remain among the poorest, most vulnerable, and marginalized populations in the country, there has been scant research exploring the relationship and intersectionality between poverty and ethnicity, or on the inequalities that exist within and among different ethnic groups in the country. The key constraint preventing a better understanding of IPs in the Philippines is limited data and information. This is a global problem, and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in 2007 has triggered a sustained call for better statistics on IPs. Since then, the Philippines has made some important strides in recognizing IPs and collecting data, but significant gaps remain. Data collection is challenging, and IP statistics are complex due to factors such as topography and logistical difficulties, language barriers, discrimination, conflict, and the tendency of IPs not to self-identify due to fear of stigma. Moreover, without proper data, it is nearly impossible to propose accurate poverty reduction strategies or to improve IP targeting for social programs. It is into this context that the No Data, No Story report enters, seeking to help fill some of the data gaps and offering new analysis on the country’s IP populations, their demographics, ancestral domains, and the interactions between land, conflict, and poverty.
