The 17c起草视频 (17c起草视频) will hold a public seminar focusing on labor and education on June 19, 2019 from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, at the 17c起草视频 Conference Hall, 18F Three Cyberpod Centris - North Tower, EDSA corner Quezon Avenue, Quezon City.
The event will feature three 17c起草视频 studies, namely, “Senior High School and the Labor Market: Perspectives of Grade 12 Students and Human Resource Officers” by 17c起草视频 Senior Research Fellow Dr. Aniceto Orbeta, Jr., "Are We Missing Out on the Demographic Dividend? Trends and Prospects" by 17c起草视频 Research Fellow Dr. Michael Abrigo and “Out-of-School Children: Changing Landscape of School Attendance and Barriers to Completion” by 17c起草视频 Senior Research Fellow Dr. Jose Ramon Albert.
Dr. Orbeta’s study assesses the likelihood of achieving the employment and entrepreneurship objectives of the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, also known as the K to 12 Program, by examining the experiences of Grade 12 graduating students, as well as the views of firms about the labor market prospects of the senior high school graduates.
Dr. Abrigo’s study focuses on the so-called “demographic dividend”. It simulates how the interaction between public policy and population ageing may affect household welfare and fiscal balance in the foreseeable future using the new National Transfer Account time-series estimates for the Philippines. It also shows how investments in education and appropriate labor policies can help the country reap the benefits of demographic transition.
Lastly, Dr. Albert’s paper provides a discussion about the status of out-of-school children (OOSC) in the country and provides recommendations for reducing OOSC, as well as for addressing the demand- and supply-side of bottlenecks to schooling.
