The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) granted clearance for the conduct of the National and Regional Survey Research to Estimate a Quality of Life Index (QLI) for the Philippines by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). The activity will be conducted by the Philippine Survey and Research Center, Inc., a third-party organization commissioned by the NEDA.
The National and Regional Survey Research to Estimate a QLI for the Philippines seeks responses that will determine Filipinos' quality of life and to identify importance and satisfaction for each quality of life domain. The study will specifically involve the development of a framework that can effectively measure the welfare and well-being of Filipinos as a supplement to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Gross National Income (GNI).
Major data items to be collected on the survey are as follows:
- demographic characteristics;
- schooling status;
- economic characteristics;
- overall quality of life; and
- quality of life domains.
A total of PhP 34.9 million will be utilized on the survey to interview 22,000 households and individuals nationwide from 2nd week of April to 3rd week of May 2023. The results of the survey are expected to be released in the 1st week of September 2023.
The survey was reviewed and cleared for conduct under the Statistical Survey Review and Clearance System (SSRCS), a mechanism being implemented by the PSA by virtue of Rule 28 of Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 10625 to:
- ensure sound design for data collection;
- minimize the burden placed upon respondents;
- effect economy in statistical data collection;
- eliminate unnecessary duplication of statistical data collection efforts; and
- achieve better coordination of government statistical activities.
In line with this, the PSA enjoins all sampled households and individuals to participate in the survey by providing the necessary information.
For further information on SSRCS, please contact the Statistical Standards Division of the Standards Service with telephone numbers (02) 8376-1928 and (02) 8376-1931, and email address ssd.staff@psa.gov.ph.
