“More is needed in job generation from all agencies if we want to step up from cyclical unemployment. We have to be proactive in finding solutions especially when it comes to easing unemployment in the country,” Villanueva said.
Unemployment and underemployment problem will increase if the government will not prioritize addressing the problems in job generation and workers’ preparedness, Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva warned Wednesday.
“[W]ith new entrants to the labor force, unemployment and underemployment would surely increase if no change to sluggish efforts on job generation and addressing gaps in school-to-work transition and persisting job-skills mismatch is done,” said Villanueva. Villanueva cited Philippine Statistics Authority’s data which showed that the unemployment rate in February 2023 remains unchanged since the start of the year at 4.8% or 2.47 million Filipinos.
“We have to assist agri-fishing, manufacturing, and other sectors to create new and sustainable jobs, address issues on school-to-work transition and ensure industry-relevant skills and core skills such as critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration,” Villanueva said.
