    Filipino Workers' Issues

    • Filipino workers face various challenges in the workplace, including low wages, lack of company security, job skill mismatch, contractualization, and exploitative labor practices.
    • Globalization has led to increased demand for diverse skills, allowing local products to reach global markets.
    • Technological advancements like gadgets, computers, and IT programs have transformed workplaces, demanding new skills from workers.
    • The cost of labor is often low compared to imported products, leading to price pressures on local businesses.

    Workplace Standards

    • Workers' rights are addressed through pillars like Employment, Worker's Rights, Social Protection, and Social Dialogue.
    • These pillars aim to ensure sustainable jobs, fair compensation, worker protections, and collaborative discussions between employers, employees, and the government.

    Industry-Specific Challenges

    • Agriculture: Workers face issues like inadequate irrigation, government support during natural disasters, and conversion of agricultural land to residential or commercial purposes.
    • Industry: Workers in mining, construction, and electricity sectors experience exploitation through long hours, low wages, and poor working conditions.

    • Job contracting involves subcontractors with sufficient resources, with less direct connection to the principal company's tasks.

    Unemployment and Underemployment
