College graduates with jobs are looking for more work to make ends meet, while some 4.8 million Filipinos are working without pay. LaborDay
MANILA, Philippines – There are more Filipinos who have jobs now than before the pandemic. But a closer look at the data shows that the available jobs are of low quality.
Underemployment occurs when people are not working full-time, have full-time work but are looking for more hours to make ends meet, or have skills that do not match their current jobs. Tasks performed by workers in elementary occupations usually include cleaning, performing basic maintenance in households, washing cars and windows, and simple tasks in food preparation. Those who deliver messages or goods, carry luggage, and sweep streets are also in this category.
However, data from the PSA also showed that almost 1.4 million or 41% of these new jobs are those held by people who reported that they have work in family businesses but are unpaid. There are currently 4.8 million “unpaid workers.”
