This study was developed
to analyze developments in labor policy and administration
during the Aquino administration.
It disclosed the major problems and constraints
compounding the labor and employment environment.
Among the problems which surfaced were:
a rapidly growing population; expanding labor force
coupled with double-digit unemployment rates; low
productivity levels; escalating prices; increasing wage
demands; and threatened industry viability.
At
the same time, the study also revealed government measures
taken to mitigate the problems.
This served as the basis for the inputs to the
chapter required of the Department in the Aquino Legacy
Paper.
