    Impact of unemployment on crime in the Philippines
    (2016-12) Lucas, Alysson Nicole T.; Rubia, Marya Katrina M. ; Magno, Cielo D.
    Unemployment and crime remains a problem despite the Philippine economy’s growth in recent years. This study aims to examine the relationship of unemployment on crime in the Philippines. We look into the relationship of unemployment on the different classifications of crime in a period of 5 years using regional data. We used the fixed effects model for panel data analysis. We controlled for the possible effect of GDP per capita, population density, crime clearance efficiency and ratio of college undergraduates and graduates over the labor force. We also included female unemployment rates and male unemployment rates to look into the gender- specific component effects of unemployment on crime. Our estimates show strong evidence that unemployment has a positive and significant effect on total crime. Our results also reveal that unemployment has greater effects on non-index crimes. GDP per capita and population density are also positively correlated with crime. Crime clearance efficiency was negatively correlated with crime although it was not statistically significant. Education, however, appeared to be positively correlated with crime, which is opposite of our predictions. As for gender-specific unemployment, our results show that male unemployment has a greater impact on crime than female unemployment.

    Unemployment and sin products consumption
    (2013-10) Elpidama, Angelica S.; Guinto, Lichelle Marie G.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    Common perception and recent media reports tell us that Filipino households still consume alcohol and tobacco products even with no stable source of income. This study aims to determine the effect of unemployment on sin products consumption of the Filipino household. The study makes use of the results of the Family Income and Expenditures Survey (FIES) of2009. We run Ordinary Least Squares regression on the consumption of alcohol and consumption of tobacco. Results show that unemployment has significant effects on the consumption of sin products. Unemployment tends to decrease consumption of alcohol and tobacco, however, only if we relax the significance level to l 0% for tobacco. Results also show that total income has no significant effect on the consumption of alcohol products but has significant and negative effects on tobacco consumption.

    Rising against inflation and unemployment: a comparative analysis of strike activity using Philippine time series data (1980-2010)), Philippine regional panel data (2002-2010) and international panel data analyses (1992-2004)
    (2012-03) Lee, Patrick Sherwin L.; Nuqui, John Stephen M.; Desierto, Desiree A.
    Strikes are costly to the society and the economy, yet only a number of researches have been conducted to identify its underlying cause, which still remains obscured. The underlying factors, both macro and micro, in previous papers have failed to provide a general understanding of the determinants of strike activity. In lieu of this, this paper delves into Inflation and Unemployment as the core explanatory variables on determining level of strike activity. Utilizing three data sets - an international panel one, a Philippine regional panel, and a Philippine time-series dataset, this paper aims to provide a sufficient and conclusive general finding on the variables' relationship with strike activity. The paper finds that unemployment maintains its highly significant and positive relationship with the level of strike activity, in the international and Philippine regional contexts at the least, and that inflation seems to be unable to show a clear, coherent and significant relationship with strikes in all particular settings examined.

    College graduates: how they are affected by unemployment and underemployment problems
    (1987-03) Quinto, Dahlia J.; So, Myrna L.
    The connection between education and employment is not simple nor is it positively constant over time. Any analysis on the relationship between the country's higher education and employment should consider that in Asia, the Philippines has the largest enrolment ratios in the elementary, secondary and tertiary levels. The universalization o£ the elementary education has automatically led to a very high enrolment ratio at the secondary level. Furthermore, because of the lack of employment opportunities after the secondary education, high school graduates have nowhere to go but to higher educational institutions. This pressures colleges and universities to expand programs which are cheap to carry out, oftentimes without considering the need for skills to be achieved through these programs to prepare students for work. In the long-run, serious problems arise from the unmet expectations of the college graduates. Thus, the Philippine educated manpower is not without work problems. Considering the painstaking preparation to produce professionals, it has been repeatedly cited that in the Philippines, as in other developing countries, a mismatch occurs between the academe and the world of work. Both from the points of view of the family as a unit and the government, the problem is not simple for in addition to employment, the related problem of underemployment also exists.
