Social Weather Stations

Social Weather Stations (SWS) is a non-stock, non-profit social research institution in the Philippines. It conducts surveys on various social and political issues, providing data and insights into public opinion and societal trends. SWS is newsworthy due to the recent release of survey findings on Filipino attitudes towards gender roles and infidelity. One survey revealed that a significant majority of Filipino women believe being a housewife is as fulfilling as working for pay, showing a notable increase from past surveys. Another survey indicated that a considerable percentage of Filipinos are willing to trust a partner again after infidelity. These findings are relevant as they offer insights into evolving social norms, gender equality perceptions, and relationship dynamics within the Philippines, informing public discourse and potentially influencing policy decisions.
