FAMILY, HEALTH, and religion emerged as Filipino men’s and women’s top sources of joy in the 2010 Philippine Happiness Index (PHI), whose results were released yesterday by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB).
The PHI used 19 factors ranked as sources of happiness, namely: community and volunteer work; cultural activities; education; family; health; income and financial security; leisure and sports; religion and/or spiritual work; technological know-how; work; economy; environment; government; politics; friends; sex life; love life; food; as well as peace and security.
NSCB noted that both sexes considered as unimportant: participation in cultural activities, community and volunteer work, leisure and sports, and technological know-how. Both sexes also ranked education as only 7th, income and financial security 8th and the economy 9th among their sources of happiness. “It is just a little bothersome that education is ranked by both women and men as only 7th most important source of happiness! How can we rebuild our human capital?” NSCB Secretary General Romulo A. Virola wrote.
The other findings showed where the sexes differ, among them: women valued work (4th) more than men (5th); men were more particular about peace and security (4th) than women (6th); women ranked food higher (5th) than men (9th); men valued love life (6th) more than women (10th); and men valued sex life (10th) more than women (18th). –Businessworld
