Item Restricted An economic analysis of the relationship between labor strikes and foreign investment: 1977-1986(1987-03) Bermas, Baden Love B.; Remitio, Ma. Ronna Angelie G.; Castro, Amado A.Item Restricted Labor strikes and the economy: a study in relationships and trends(1985-10-11) Atienza, Rene M.; Lizares, John Emmanuel M.This study will be an examination of the relationships between economic factors and level of labor strikes. We hypothesized that as a general economic welfare deteriorates, the level of strikes would increase. The method used in arriving at our conclusion was a comprehensive annual and periodical analysis and comparisons between the two periods concerned. The years covered by the study were divided into two periods namely 1975 to 1980 and 1981 to 1984. It has been observed that the period 1975 to 1980 saw a relatively low level of strike activity. This occurred at a time when the economic factor experienced generally modest economic growth and inflation rates, and an increasing real wage for workers. The succeeding period 1981 to 1984 saw a drastic increase in the level of strikes as well as a general deterioration in the economic condition. Although it can be explained that the high level of strikes was due to the lifting of the partial strike ban, it is more as a result of the general deterioration in the economic condition as well as the decline in the welfare of labor sector. From this analysis, a relationship can be derived between the state of the economy and the level of strikes. We can conclude that as the economy worsens, strikes for the specific period will increase.Item Restricted Labor absorption in Central Luzon(1985-03-22) Cerdena, May Lynn; Magas, Lourdes; Alburo, FlorianItem Restricted The incidence of strikes in the Philippines (1966-1984)(1988-02-26) Espenilla, Margaret Mary Rosary Carmel Aldave; Toledo, Mary Anne Josephine Sales; Medalla, FelipeItem 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 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 effects of government policies and actions on trade union activities: an inquiry(1984-03) Aquino, Manuel PerezItem Restricted A study of the manpower export program to selected asian countries(1986-04) Bautista, Aurora R.; Cordova, Ma.
