Item Restricted Male and female labor force participation in kapitbahayan resettlement area(1981-03-16) Aquino, Pamela A.; Bernarte, Rosario OliviaItem Restricted Female labor force participation and fertility in Metro Manila 1973(1981-01) Henares, Georgiana; Mortel, Robertina; Canlas, Dante B.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 Women in the informal sector: effects of education on income(2001-10) Caballero, Ma. Concepcion G.; Tedor, Lara Marie T.Item Restricted Women and development: a time-series and cross-regional test of the u-curve hypothesis in the Philippines setting(2005-10) Serrano, Moniera Crystle M.; Tria, Angeline CLeofe E.In recent economic literature, economists have hypothesized a-U-curve relationship between female labor force participation and economic development. This paper provides time-series and cross-regional evidence on female labor force participation rates in the Philippines and considers its determinants. The measure of development used is per capita Gross Regional Domestic Product. A quadratic term in per capita Gross Regional Domestic Product is utilized in the models to empirically test the occurrence of aU-curve relationship. The models are estimated for fifteen regions across the years, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002. The results do not confirm the occurrence of a U-curve in the Philippine setting. This paper is adopted from a similar study done by researcher Aysit Tansel in 2002, using time-series, cross-provincial Turkey data in the years 1980, 1985 and 1990.Item Restricted Female labor force participation in the Philippines(2009-04) Ko Gaw, Jennifer Marie G.The study focuses on understanding factors that affect women's behavior toward working and joining the labor force. Using the samples of a nationally representative survey, results are obtained using probit model. The results show that factors considered significant in determining female labor force participation in the Philippines include education, age, marital status, family size, household type, number of employed household members, presence of children, total family income, ownership of time-saving technology, women unemployment per region, and basic pay per day per region.
