本文表明，大家庭规模可以是家庭贫困的一个重要因素。它介绍了作者最近的研究结果，使用具有全国代表性的家庭调查数据，清楚地表明大家庭规模如何通过影响家庭储蓄，劳动力供应，父母收入和子女教育而导致贫困和脆弱性。该文件是迄今为止最系统地试图利用家庭调查数据说明菲律宾家庭规模与贫穷之间的联系。这些结果的明确含义是，就菲律宾而言，旨在限制家庭规模的积极人口政策可对减贫产生重要影响。
This paper shows how large family size can be an important contributor to household poverty. It presents results from recent research by the author using nationally representative household survey data that demonstrate clearly how large family size can contribute to poverty and vulnerability through its impact on household savings, labor supply, and parental earnings and education of children. The paper is the most systematic attempt to date to show the links between family size and poverty in the Philippines using household survey data. The clear implication of the results is that, in the case of the Philippines, an active population policy aimed at restricting family size could have an important impact on poverty reduction.
