The Department of Labor and Employment in the Philippines aims to increase the availability of quality jobs following an improvement in underemployment rates recorded in May.
The Philippine Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has announced its intention to prioritize the creation of more quality employment opportunities as official data show a decrease in underemployment rates in May. This development signals a favorable turn in the country’s labor market, with more individuals finding work that matches their skills and economic needs. DOLE emphasizes that while easing underemployment is a positive sign, the focus remains on improving job quality, ensuring job security, and increasing access to decent work across various sectors. The department is working on policies and programs aimed at supporting industries capable of generating sustainable livelihoods for Filipino workers, both domestically and among overseas workers. This approach aligns with the government’s broader goal of enhancing economic development and workforce well-being in the Philippines.
