Abstract: CHARLOTTE, SAN JOSE E. Standard of Living of Households in Selected Municipalities and Cities in the Province of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics major in Business Economics. Cavite State University. Indang, Cavite. November 2010. Adviser: Ms. Ma. Soledad M. Lising. The study was conducted to determine the standard of living of households in selected municipalities and cities in the province of Cavite. Specifically, this study aimed to: describe the demographic characteristics of households, identify the household’s monthly budget pattern of major income earners, establish the relationship of the demographic characteristics to the standard of living and establish the relationship of physiographical areas where the respondents reside to the standard of living The study was conducted in selected municipalities and cities in three physiographical areas of Cavite, namely: lowland (Bacoor, Imus and Gen. Trias), transitory (Dasmariñas, Silang and GMA); and upland (Tagaytay City, Alfonso, and Maragondon). A total of 270 major income earners were used as respondents of the study. Data were collected using personally prepared structured questionnaires, which were personally distributed to the respondents by the researcher. The data were analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency count, mean, percentages, ranges and ranking. Majority of major income earners in lowland were male with a mean age of 44 years old and were high school graduates. In transitory area, more than half or 60 percent was male with a mean age of 35 years old and were college graduates while in upland area, majority of the respondents were male with a mean age of 40 years old and they were college graduates. Standard of living of households was measured highest in lowland area than in transitory and upland areas. Majority of the respondents’ monthly budget were allocated on education and nutrition or food and least allocated on health and social activities. Generally, demographic characteristics such as civil status and occupation are significantly related to household’s standard of living. It showed that male and married major income earners have higher standard of living than those who are single, widow/widower and self-employed, OF W and pensioner on the other hand. Physiographical areas such as lowland, transitory and upland areas have significant relationship to standard of living. It revealed that the two variables are dependent, hence, there is a difference in standard of living between lowland, transitory and upland area.

The study was conducted to determine the standard of living of households in selected municipalities and cities in the province of Cavite. Specifically, this study aimed to: describe the demographic characteristics of households, identify the household’s monthly budget pattern of major income earners, establish the relationship of the demographic characteristics to the standard of living and establish the relationship of physiographical areas where the respondents reside to the standard of living

The study was conducted in selected municipalities and cities in three physiographical areas of Cavite, namely: lowland (Bacoor, Imus and Gen. Trias), transitory (Dasmariñas, Silang and GMA); and upland (Tagaytay City, Alfonso, and Maragondon). A total of 270 major income earners were used as respondents of the study. Data were collected using personally prepared structured questionnaires, which were personally distributed to the respondents by the researcher.

The data were analyzed using statistical tools such as frequency count, mean, percentages, ranges and ranking.

Majority of major income earners in lowland were male with a mean age of 44 years old and were high school graduates. In transitory area, more than half or 60 percent was male with a mean age of 35 years old and were college graduates while in upland area, majority of the respondents were male with a mean age of 40 years old and they were college graduates.

Standard of living of households was measured highest in lowland area than in transitory and upland areas.

Majority of the respondents’ monthly budget were allocated on education and nutrition or food and least allocated on health and social activities.

Generally, demographic characteristics such as civil status and occupation are significantly related to household’s standard of living. It showed that male and married major income earners have higher standard of living than those who are single, widow/widower and self-employed, OF W and pensioner on the other hand. Physiographical areas such as lowland, transitory and upland areas have significant relationship to standard of living. It revealed that the two variables are dependent, hence, there is a difference in standard of living between lowland, transitory and upland area.
