Labour market governance in the Philippines: Issues and institutions
The author outlines the present state of the labour market, the mechanisms available to support the attainment of full, productive and decent employment, and he examines critically the institutions, processes and capacity of the market as well as the manner of their interaction.
The Philippines is widely acknowledged, within Asia, as having one of the most advanced labour codes in the region, affording worker protection and the right to organize. This basic law is supported by institutional mechanisms and institutions designed to promote best practice in labour market governance.
