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 Minimum wage fixing of the regional tripartite wages and productivity boards(2002-12) Narvaez, Desiree Joy O.; Rafols, Jeanny Mae H.; Tan, EditaThe Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Boards were created in June 1989 under RA6727. The Boards were tasked to determine the appropriate minimum wages taking into account the criteria set by law These criteria were grouped into four broad categories which include: the needs of. workers criterion, capacity to pay of employers, comparable· wages and income and regional economic development. This paper examines the process undertaker by the Boards in minimum wage fixing as well as the significance they attach to each criterion used. To determine the significance of the criteria, the growth patterns of the indicators were analyzed vis-a-vis the growth pattern of the nominal wages in a particular region In addition, regional regression and pooled regression analysis were conducted.Item Restricted Effect of social security and earnings on retirement behavior: evidence from SSS pensioners(2002-10) Tabin, Jeny B.; Ubias, Jackson L.; Tecson, Gwendolyn R.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 Public education and employment(2003-04) Dizon, Cristine Ines N.; Lumboy, Jewel Therese D.; Alburo, FlorianThere are many ways to increase employment. One is to develop the skills and knowledge of the people through education. Recognizing this vital role played by education on employment, a major portion of the government's budget is being allocated for the different levels of education each year. This paper shows that the government budget for elementary education has a better impact on reducing the unemployment rate among those who completed elementary· education compared to the government budget for secondary education. The technical results of the study show that the elementary unemployment rate has a negative relationship with the budget for elementary education. The key policy implications is that since elementary level is the optimum level that will improve the country's employment situation, this should be the priority of the government in allocating its resources.
