May 17.54 million o 15.5% ng mga Filipino ang mahihirap noong 2023, batay sa pinakahuling datos ng kahirapan ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Nilalagay nito ang pambansang poverty incidence ng mga pamilya sa 10.9%, na katumbas ng 2.99 milyong pamilyang Filipino na walang sapat na kita income para matugunan ang pangunahing pangangailangan sa pagkain at hindi pagan.
