00:00 The government's target is to create more quality jobs for Filipinos.
00:06 The FJP will also promote the provision of part-time jobs in the formal sector
00:10 to give time to workers to study and improve their skill level.
00:16 Here is the report.
00:18 Aside from creating more jobs,
00:24 the government's target is to increase the quality of jobs for Filipinos
00:29 to reduce the so-called vulnerable employment.
00:33 According to the latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:37 the unemployment rate of December is at 3.1%,
00:41 the lowest since 2005.
00:45 According to NEDA, the government is currently trying to increase
00:49 the number of account workers who are not paid by their employers,
00:52 like the so-called "sari-sari" stores run by the owners.
00:57 You're alone and you don't have a paid employee.
01:00 So these are the so-called vulnerable employment.
01:04 It's still at 35%.
01:06 This is what we need to increase.
01:09 We want the own account workers to have a paid employee.
01:15 It means they are already paid.
01:18 The sari-sari store has become a small grocery store.
01:22 NEDA is also pushing for a part-time job in the formal sector
01:26 so that those who want to get a higher education can have more time to study.
01:32 The goal is to increase the skill level of employees in the formal sector.
01:37 This is also the solution NEDA is seeing in the under-employment in the agriculture sector.
01:43 If you want to get a master's degree,
01:47 I have a friend who worked in a call center.
01:52 He was a full-time employee at night,
01:54 and during the day, he was also a full-time student.
01:58 It's like he's too...
02:00 -He's too busy.
02:02 -Yes, so we think it's okay not to have a master's degree.
02:06 In other countries, it's okay to have a master's degree in the formal sector.
02:10 We also think this will be the solution to our under-employment in agriculture.
02:15 Because in agriculture, they're not employed full-time, right?
02:19 During... It's very seasonal.
02:21 The problem is they can't be employed in the formal sector because...
02:24 -There's no job.
02:26 According to NEDA, the government is in the right direction when it comes to hiring jobs.
02:32 As of 2023, 900,000 jobs were created in the industry sector,
02:38 including construction, more than half a million in agriculture, and 100,000 in the services sector.
02:45 When it comes to inflation rate,
02:47 the government believes that the price of goods will continue to rise.
02:53 The situation is also in line with the target of 2-4% inflation rate this year.
03:01 We don't want volatility.
03:04 The problem is that businesses and high inflation make it difficult for them to plan ahead.
03:13 Because they're going to produce raw materials,
03:18 so the price can rise.
03:20 And when they sell, it's already low.
