Philippine External Labor Flexibility

Year Completed: 1992

This monograph examines the extent to which the industrial sector (manufacturing, construction and trade) adjusted its employment policies in response to economic trends and labor market movements.

One of the major findings of the study indicates that majority of the establishments resorted to flexible forms of employment.  These include the hiring of temporary/ casual, sub-contracting and part-time work which was found to have been necessitated by the fluctuating demands for the products of industrial establishments.  In effect, this has generally resulted to increased workers’ vulnerability.
