Youth employment in the Philippines: An interview with Lawrence Jeff Johnson on Mornings@ANC
12 April 2012
Mornings@ANC of the ABS-CBN News Channel interviewed Director Lawrence Jeff Johnson of the ILO Country Office for the Philippines, on youth employment. According to the 2011 Philippine Labor Force Survey, 1.5 million young people, aged 15-24 were unemployed. On average, young people are more likely to be unemployed than adults. However, according to Director Johnson, even among those Filipino youth who were employed, 2.3 million were in vulnerable forms of employment in 2010. He said this is of equal or greater concern as young people are often left with little choice but to accept or create whatever work they can find, just so they and their loved ones can survive.
