What are the causes and effects of unemployment in the Philippines?

Answer 1

In a statement, Monterona added the latest SWS survey on unemployment is a "slap on the face of Pres.Benigno Aquino III and his labor honchos who stated that it will stop sending Filipino workers abroad."

"The reality is, the government will continue to do so and even intensify its labor export program by exploring labor markets abroad, no difference from the previous administrations," Monterona averred.

About 4,200 Filipinos are leaving the country daily for work or looking for jobs abroad compared to the 3,200 two years ago, according to Monterona.

"With the worsening unemployment problem, the number of Filipinos forced to leave the country for overseasjob will increase to around three to 5 percent from the current base figure of 4,200 daily in two to 3 year time."

The group also slammed the country's labor department, saying, "The DoLE would make us believe that the unemployment problem is due to 'job mismatch'. The fact is the Aquino administration performs poorly in generating local jobs with decent pay and benefits primarily due to anti-labor policies such as labor-contracting only, among others."

Answer 2

There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines. Some people, called "squatters," live near trash mounds and scavenge through the rubble to find materials that they can re-sell. Many are living in extreme poverty and unsanitary conditions. One of the effects this impoverished lifestyle has on them is an extremely short life expectancy.

But there are some rays of hope. For one, slow but steady economic improvements are providing jobs in places like call centers. Secondly, charitable organizations like the Philippine Aid Society are growing and working hard to fight poverty. For those who want to do their part to help, consider a financial donation to one of these charities.
