    Firm characteristics as the determinants of the share of women in employment
    (2014-12) Kalagayan, Andrea Nicole R.; Quimbo, Stella Luz A.; Horioka, Charles Yuji
    This study explored the effects of various firm characteristics on the share of women in employment. Data from the Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry 2008 (ASPBI 2008) was used to quantify firm characteristics and the corresponding share of women in employment, in the formal sector. Firm characteristics were divided into Sector-Independent Firm Characteristics and Sector-Fixed Effects. The hypothesis was that the better economic benefit firms have to offer to its workers, the more female workers the firms will attract. Results suggested that 1) service-oriented sectors attract significantly more women, and 2) investment in Information Communication Technology is strongly correlated to the share of women in employment. Such findings have important policy implications with regard to encouraging more women to participate in paid work.

    Philippine growth and employment: looking through the dynamics of employment in the analysis of jobless growth
    (2014-03) Regalado, Mica Janine B.; Viernes, Lea Eloiza O.; Debuque-Gonzales, Margarita
    This study tries to explain the existence of jobless growth in the Philippines by looking through the dynamics of employment. The Auto-regressive Distributive Lag Model Bounds Test Approach to Co-integration was used to process time series data on employment. Classification of worker employment was adopted in order to explain the dynamics of employment given changes in output. The study shows that Gross Domestic Product has a weak relationship with both employment and unemployment. In the short run, own account workers decrease when GDP increases whereas wage and salary workers increase. The opposite can be observed in the long run.

    The economics of natural disasters in the Philippines: an analysis of the effects of the 2006 and 2009 typhoon seasons on employment and output
    (2013-04) Capulong, Alexander A.; Sollano, Jose Gabriel Antonio T.; Carlos, Fidelina N.
    This study focuses on the Philippines and the effects of typhoons of the final quarter of 2006 and 2009 on the employment of 17 industries. In addition, this study also analyzes the effects of natural disasters, in general, to output levels and% share of GDP of the 12 industries of production. Specifically, this study attempts to apply, in the case of the Philippines, what researchers have recently done in the United States, Australia and Japan. The study attempts to lay the ground work for future research in the field here in the Philippines. It should be clear that the study can be extremely beneficial to future policy makers and other economic planners given that the Philippines is geographically located within the Pacific Typhoon Belt. Available data from both international and local sources are utilized in this study. An adapted ARIMA model with intervention variables for the years 2006 and 2009 will be used to run econometric analyses on the 17 different sectors in the Philippines with regard to their employment growth from 2001 and 2011 and on the output level and% share of GDP of 12 industries from 1998 to 2012. The paper attempts to capture the effects over short and medium term periods so as to make a forecast of future effects possible. In the end, the results have showed all industries can withstand the effect of the typhoons; even the usual suspects (Agriculture, Fishing and Construction) are more robust than expected for employment. Despite heavy losses caused by typhoons, they are not sufficient to significantly alter the established trend of any industry's hiring practice. As for the output levels, only the industries of Forestry, Manufacturing, and Construction have increased their production after the year of 2009 in the medium-term. Moreover, in the medium-term after 2006, the industries of Mining and Quarrying and Manufacturing have taken a higher share % of GDP while the Electricity, Gas and Water Supply incurred loss and in the medium-term after 2009, the share was allocated to Forestry, Mining and Quarrying, and Other services from the lost % share GDP of the Agriculture and Fishing industry. The results bolster the suggestion of other studies that natural disasters may have a short -lived positive effect despite other sectors having long lasting negative consequences. Similar to the case of the Philippines, there have been instances of shifts in the industrial landscape by share of GDP.

    Intra-household substitutes for and complements of child labor: a study on the relationships between child work, parental salaries, adult employment and non-labor household assets
    (2013-04) Gayosa, Madeth Agojo; Carlos, Fidelina N.
    This paper analyzes child labor force participation in terms of its relationships with characteristics of parents, other household members, and non-labor household assets. Using data from the 2011 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS), this study employs binary logistic regression to determine the complements and substitutes of child work within the household. Results show that employment of parents and other household members, household size, agricultural land, and rural residence are effectively complementary with child labor force participation. In contrast, parental education, child schooling, urban residence and some social infrastructures substitute for child work. These findings evidence the importance of education, quality employment, and social services in child labor deterrence.
