Item Restricted Female labor force participation and fertility in the Philippines(2013-10) Mauro, Mariel A.; Niro, Christine P.This study analyzes the effect of female labor force participation on fertility in the Philippines. Using data from the National Demographic and Health Survey and the Labor Force Survey (NDHS & LFS, 1998, 2003 and 2008) of the National Statistics Office, we apply the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method to the data. We find a significant association between female labor force participation and fertility rates. Our control variables include the wealth index, traditional contraceptive use, Catholic religious affiliation, marital status, and age at first marriage. Wealth index, marital status and Catholic religious affiliation, are also shown to be significantly associated with fertility rates. Overall, our study findings support our hypothesis.Item Restricted Show me the money: a look at the factors determining whether a tvet graduate will be hired or not(2001-10) Bugay, Mary Grace; Fadrilan, Hanzel Renee; Bautista, Socorro GochocoItem Restricted To be or not to be: an analysis of why most UP economics graduates are not practicing economics(2001-10-25) Quimio, Maria Vida M.; Suarez, Haidee Roda Anne L.; Danao, RolandoItem Restricted Hua-Chiao(2001-01) Tan, Leslie Ann C.; Veracruz, Marie Grace T.; Bautista, Socorro GochocoItem Restricted Analysis of shifts of Filipino labour migration from middle east to Asia(2002-10) Alegre, Sigrid E.; Capule, Julie Ann C.; Alburo, Florian A.Item Restricted A regional analysis of the determinants of female labor force participation in the Philippines: 1995(2002-10) Milla, Patricia Corpuz; Soliven, Laila Guillermo; Tecson, GwendolynLabor is one of the key factors that define a country's well-being in the long-run. It depends upon the willingness of men and women to work or join the labor force. In the Philippines, female labor force participation rates post a steadily increasing trend over the past years. In the interest of explaining the aforementioned economic activity, this study focuses on a regional analysis of the determinants of female labor force participation rates in the Philippines for the year 1995. A cross section multiple linear regression using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Method was employed on data from 15 regions to estimate the significance, nature and degree of relationships between regional female labor force participation rates and selected dependent variables. Viewed as a product of the interplay of various social, demographic and economic factors, results indicated that regional female labor force is positively related to the level of education, woman's age, marital status and presence of children, while negatively related to wage and unemployment. Marital status and unemployment were included despite their insignificant results in so far as they complement the economic concept of the "added worker effect".Item Restricted The effect of education and demographic characteristics on the layoff odds of labor force participants(2003-10) Antonio, May Lourdes D.; Brillantes, Abigail B.; Kraft, AleliThis study examines whether education and demographic characteristics namely age, gender and marital status have a significant effect on the layoff probability of the participants in the labor force when firms undergo retrenchment. The Qualitative Response Model specifically the Logit model was used to determine the impact of these variables on layoffs. Initially education, age, gender and marital status were perceived to have a negative relation with the layoff probability, where male, single, young and with higher levels of education are less likely to be laid off. However, results showed that age and marital status does not affect the chances of workers or employees of being laid off. On the other hand, gender and education specifically, the college level have shown significance in affecting the likelihood of labor force participants to be laid off. With the consideration of added variables, namely the nature of employment and the kind of business, only the former has been found to have significance on the layoff probability. In the fully interactive model, the variables gender, education, nature of employment, the service sector and its interaction dummies with the levels of education proved to be significant.Item Restricted The link between class of worker and sectoral output(2003-10) Estepa, Eriane Gae R.; Mallabo, Grace Marie Angeli T.; Kraft, AleliWith the Philippines as the empirical setting, this paper examines the relationship between the employment by class of worker and sectoral output. The study used time- series and cross-sectional quarterly data from various labor statistics covering the years 1992-2002. The findings of this study reveal that wage and salary workers respond positively to an increase in industry and services output, but react negatively to an increase in agriculture output. On the other hand, own-account workers display a positive relationship with the value-added in agriculture and services but a negative relationship with the value-added in the industry sector. Lastly, the behavior of unpaid family workers is inversely proportional to output in the industry and services sectors. Linking employment and gross value-added by industry allows us to examine the likely future structure of the economy, and assess the potential implications for planning and economic policy.Item Restricted An inquiry on the socio-economic characteristics of ambulant vendors in Manila City(2004-10) Canales, Kristine Laura S.; Tan, EditaItem Restricted The determinants of labor force participation in the Philippines, 1990 and 2000(2004-10) Clave, Danica Anna P.; Morada, Gerada Raymund A.; Estudillo, Jonna P.
