In Ambisyon Natin 2040, Filipinos have articulated a long-term goal to “live in a prosperous, predominantly middle-class society where no one is poor”. Monitoring of the progress toward this goal requires a clear understanding and consensus of what a middle-class society is, or more specifically, who constitutes the middle class in the Philippines, by policymakers and program implementers. This infographic provides a profile of middle-class persons and families in the Philippines. It also looks into the Philippines’ prospects of achieving the goal of a largely middle-class society by 2040. Lastly, it highlights some issues and recommendations on how to strengthen the middle class.
