    Earnings performance of graduates of selected UP colleges
    (2012-04) Co, Jade Kimberly L.; Garcia, Jorell Eric S.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    Educational attainment is critical in determining one's future income. In effect, college degrees also affect employability and income. This study aims to find out whether there are marked variances in ~e incomes of the graduates with different degrees obtained at the tertiary level. .An online survey was conducted among the 2009 graduates of selected colleges in UP Diliman. OLS regression analysis was then applied to the sample observations to test the effect and significance of the hypothesized explanatory variables on current monthly incomes. This study concludes that college degrees do have a significant effect on incomes. Knowing which degrees yield higher income, reflecting the demands of the labor market, would inform young students better in their choice of academic courses that would determine their career paths.

    Modeling higher education participation in the Philippines
    (2012-10) Ko, Rona Niña D.; Vicente, Al Constantin; Kraft, Aleli D.
    This paper aims to identify and evaluate the characteristics of a college-age household member that would result in their household's decision to send them to college. Using the 2010 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), we performed logit regression analysis to estimate the coefficients of the variables and their corresponding marginal effects. We find that the characteristic with the greatest influence on the household's decision is the educational attainment of the household head followed closely by the household income. The greatest deterrents are if the individual is married and if the individual is male. Important policy implications concern improving access of tertiary education for the poor, as well as actions the government may undertake in order to mitigate the factors that greatly negatively affect tertiary education participation, while focusing its efforts on factors that strongly positively influence tertiary education participation.

    A potential problem for K-12 in the Philippines: differences in the employability of senior high school and college graduates
    (2020-01) Sanchez, Manuel Luis T. II; Torres, Yzabel Bernice L.; Debuque-Gonzalez, Margarita
    The K-12 program’s original goals were to have work-ready graduates able to find jobs without needing a college diploma/degree. The program supposedly would increase the work qualifications of senior high school (SHS) graduates. In this study, we analyzed the effect of the new program on the employability of such individuals. A survey was conducted for Manufacturing and Retail/Wholesale/Shopping firms in order to assess the firms’ demand for and opinions on SHS graduates. Results show that firms do indeed have demand for these graduates, but this is no different from the demand for the previous batch of high school graduates. Only low-level jobs were available to the SHS graduates, mainly due to the lack of information about the graduates’ abilities. This study also applies a Logit Regression Model using the Labor Force Surveys for 2017 and 2018, which include the first two batches of SHS graduates. This empirical analysis mainly shows that college graduates generally have a higher probability of being employed than SHS graduates, except when we factor in age. Firms are willing to hire more SHS graduates; however, they may be considered too young for the jobs they offer. Overall, the results indicate that SHS graduates need to be marketed more for the skills and capabilities they have to be employed more readily by firms.
