A new study has revealed that women dominate sari-sari store ownership in the Philippines, demonstrating their significant control over the local economy.
“The high percentage of sari-sari store ownership by women shows that Filipinas virtually control much of the local economy,” he said.
However, the study also notes that women’s labor participation in some industries is still low, and institutions must empower women by boosting skills training initiatives to ensure they can participate fully in the country’s economic growth. “Families set up sari-sari stores to augment the resources of the household. Thus, sari-sari stores are always intertwined with the needs of the home,” he said.
