Issues Related to Social Stratification in the
Philippines
Wealth and Income 1. Situation 1: A family in a rural area struggles to afford basic necessities
like food and education due to low agricultural income, while a family in a
metropolitan area enjoys a high standard of living due to high-paying jobs in
the business sector.
2. Situation 2: A significant portion of the national budget is allocated to
infrastructure projects in wealthier urban areas, leaving rural communities with
limited access to essential services and resources, thus perpetuating income
inequality.
3. Situation 3: The informal economy, which employs a large segment of the
population, often lacks worker protections and fair compensation, contributing
to a large gap between the rich and the poor.
Ethnicity
1. Situation 1: Indigenous communities in remote areas face discrimination
and marginalization in accessing education, healthcare, and government
services compared to the majority population.
2. Situation 2: Stereotypes and prejudices against certain ethnic groups can
lead to limited opportunities in employment and social mobility.
3. Situation 3: Cultural practices and traditions of some ethnic groups may
be overlooked or undervalued in national policies and development initiatives.
Gender and Sexual Orientation 1. Situation 1: Women in certain industries, such as domestic work, often
receive lower wages than men performing similar tasks, reflecting
gender-based wage disparities.
2. Situation 2: Members of the LGBTQ+ community face discrimination in
employment, housing, and healthcare, limiting their access to resources
and opportunities.
3. Situation 3: Gender roles and expectations can influence educational
choices and career paths, restricting opportunities for both men and women.
People with Disabilities
1. Situation 1: Individuals with disabilities may encounter barriers to
accessing education, employment, and transportation due to lack of
accessibility infrastructure and supportive services.
2. Situation 2: Social stigma and discrimination can lead to social
exclusion and limited opportunities for people with disabilities.
3. Situation 3: Lack of awareness and understanding of disability
issues can hinder the development of inclusive policies and programs.
