Employment enhancement involves improving workers’ competency, productivity and work
values, work conditions and occupational safety and health, remuneration, and welfare. There is a
need for coherent strategies that will ensure basic security and employment while enabling adaptation
to rapidly changing circumstances in a highly competitive global market because decent work is not
just concerned with the creation of employment, but also employment of acceptable quality.
To enhance labor productivity and competitiveness, government shall showcase productivity
improvement programs in micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), including barangay micro
business enterprises (BMBEs). It shall promote a culture of self-regulation and voluntary compliance
to labor standards through the full implementation of the new labor standards framework, and
continuously review its wage policy framework vis-à-vis emerging labor and industry requirements.
Workers are the country’s comparative advantage. There is a continuing need to sustain this
advantage by adopting educational, training, and technical/vocational programs that will make labor
supply more elastic. In this context, the technical/vocational and maritime training programs shall be
continuously improved to meet the critical skills needed in a globalizing economy, as identified through
industry signals. For skills training to be of any use, standards for skills certification and assessment of
competencies shall be developed based on international standards. In addition to the strategic
measures identified in education (Part IV, Chapter 18), effectively addressing the issue of youth
unemployment shall be high in the agenda. Thus, youths shall also be provided with opportunities to
acquire skills and competencies required by the market through training, expanded apprenticeship and
learnership programs, special program for employment of deserving students, and emergency
employment for the out-of-work/ out-of-school youths in Metro Manila. Assistance to other workers
who are discriminated from work, such as persons with disabilities and occupationally disabled
workers shall also be intensified to enhance their employability, whether in wage or self-employment.
