    Bantigue, Aleli (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1992-07)
    This study was undertaken to identify the areas of household decision-making where married women of nuclear families participate. The variables involved in this study were 'educational attainment of women, ''their income, and the different areas of household decision-making. The primary instrument used in this study was an interview schedule to gather necessary data. The barangay of Mat-y, Miag-ao, Iloilo, was chosen as the research site. The respondents of the study are 59 married women of nuclear families as 50% sample. A random sampling method was employed. The chi-square test was utilised primarily in data analysis to determine the presence ofa relationship between variables. More so, simple frequency and percentage counts were employed to make the presentation of results comprehensible. With the use of frequency and percentages, it was found out that married women are involved in every area of decision-making in the household, namely financial-economic and socio-moral concerns. in financial-economic areas, women are more involved most particularly inhousehold budgeting of everyday expenses. In sociomoral concerns, they are most involved specifically in the care of children. Likewise,the results of the chi-square test showed that no relationship is evident between educational attainment and women’s involvement in the decision—making process in both financial-economic and socio-moral related areas, Furthermore, as to income as the other variable, two decision-areas were found to be affected by income. These were under the financial-economic related aspects of decision- mooting specifically in borrowing of money and paying of loans or credits, moreover, the other decision areas tested showed no relationship between income and women’s participation in the decision-making process.

    Bacalocos, Kezzie Lyn R.; Camit, Rizalee L. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    This paper was designed to describe the income and employment structure of the households in the coastal barangays of Miagao, Iloilo. Data were gathered through face- to-face interviews with 303 household heads from the six barangays identified by the Municipal Planning and Development Office. There were a total of 1,867 household members, where 1,086 belonged to the working age group. The data gathered were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, averages and percentages. Results showed that despite being near the sea, the households were not dependent on it for their income and employment. The proportion of professionals was low. Most household members in working age worked in the past in non — professional jobs, mostly in contractual terms. Similarly, most were currently employed in skill-related jobs such as in construction and mechanics. The proportion of females out of work is greater than the males. The monthly household income ranged between 0 to Phpl6, 300. The majority of households have an average income of P7, 343.19. Income diversification program is needed in the area. The women who are willing to work can be targeted for livelihood program and skills training. Information on jobs and skills training available must effectively disseminated in the barangays.

    Porntrepreneur: A phenomenological study on the narratives of women towards pornography as a source of income in San Jose De Buenavista, Antique
    Aquino, Carla Faith M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)
    Pornography as a business industry in the Philippines persists despite legal restrictions. This research maps the narratives of select Catholic women and gender advocates in San Jose de Buenavista, Antique towards pornography as a phenomenon and as a source of income. Various themes are explored around their views of sex work as work, and their perception towards government policies and gaps in addressing issues on pornography. The study utilized data from two separate Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with eight (8) of women who are members of Lay Organization Movement Association (LOMAS) and Marian Movement Organizations (MaMOs), five (5) gender advocates, three (3) of whom are government workers, and two (2) NGO representatives, and sexual violence-related national legislations. The Moustakas transcendental phenomenology framework was employed and data were analyzed through the lenses of the conservative and feminist theories. Results revealed that women view pornography as exploitative yet bounded by moral dimensions. As an industry, it is easily accessible to the public, a business involving money, profit, and income. Catholic women argue that pornography should be exclusive only for married couples but should be restricted from children, while gender advocates do not want to restrict everything but are concerned about women’s rights. The women articulate that the driving forces leading people to engage themselves in such work are poverty and survival.

    Household income analysis of Miagao, Iloilo town proper
    Alolosan, Gene J.; Tacardon, Emmanuel C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2004-03)
    The objective of the study is to evaluate the household income of Miag-ao, Iloilo Town Proper. Specifically, it aims to develop economic and demographic profiles of the households and their respective household incomes. It would like also to determine the household income distribution of town proper, and compare it with the national and regional distribution of income. Lastly, it aims determine the level of inequality that persists in the said locality, and compare it with the national, regional, and provincial level of inequality. The data analyzed in this study were obtained by conducting guidedinterviews with 167 household heads. The instrument was based on the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) of the NSO. It was found out that the average household size in the area is with 6 members. Households are mostly composed of single families. The registered average annual income earned by each household is P358, 713 while the median income was Pl94, 456. Most of the incomes were derived from wages and salaries from employment. The income distribution of the area is heavily skewed to the right. The richest ten percent of the households obtained nearly half of the total income while the bottom 10 percent yielded only 0.58 percent. The lower half of the deciles received only nearly 10 percent while almost 90 percent of the income was accrued by the upper fifty percent of the total samples. The resulted value of the Gini ratio is .5842 which is higher than the national, regional, and provincial ratios. The paper concluded that the level of inequality that persists in a specific area does not necessarily pattern the level of inequality in the national or regional level. It was recommended that the local government unit of the area should frame programs and policies providing livelihoods to households belonging to lower deciles that would result to the redistribution of income.
