Item Restricted The vulnerable identification of the determinants of household vulnerability(2003-04) Danila, Angela V.; Tuberlleha, Matthew M.This study focuses on the identification of household characteristics that affect the level of vulnerability of households in the Philippines during the period 1994 - 1997. Using Ordinary Least Squares regression, and changes in household consumption as proxy for vulnerability, the proponents identified the characteristics associated with vulnerability in terms of household head characteristics, household composition, household location and industry affiliation. Among the vulnerable groups were households with older heads residing in rural areas. Households that have high dependence to labor market, measured by employment ratio are also vulnerable. On the other hand, those who are less vulnerable may be found among households that have more educated heads and more members. Households that have employed wives are also less vulnerable. Diversification of portfolio also helps decrease the vulnerability of a household. What is interesting is that, the proponents have identified characteristics associated with vulnerability during the timeĀ· when the country has experienced growth. Had it been the time of an economic crisis, determinants of vulnerability will be more apparent.
