Regardless of income, almost all households have more than one member contributing the
budget. Of the 35 women out of 46 who answered the question, 24 said there are at least
two adults providing for the household (68.6%); in three households, there are five adults
engaged in paid work.
In six of the 11 households with only one member providing for its needs, this refers to the
woman interviewed. Five of these women earn only PhP 5,000 or less.

The nature of paid work of household members is also varied. Many are in low-paying work
such as farming, fishing, paid domestic labor, construction work and itinerant vending. The
better-off households also have members with regular income (e.g. employees), pensions,
own business or work abroad.
In terms of housing, 62.5 percent of the women who answered this question said that they
have their own house and lot.
