So, did you know that the unemployment rate in our country decreased – slightly – but not enough – and that there are still 1.2M employable people who are otherwise unemployed. And, if we include all the frustrated unemployed people out there (i.e. people who got so tried of looking for a job they stopped trying) it gives us a total of 4M unemployed citizens.
But prospects aren’t so bleak as we might think – forecasts for Asia 2020 tells us that the Philippines is in a relatively good position to answer the world’s demand of sorts… we may be able to get the surplus of demands here and there, they say…
And interestingly, the Philippine’s seemingly inopportune population growth – will probably turn out to be the lucky solution for our future – as every other country’s population continue to age.
Quite serious? Yet obviously relevant occurrences in our reality. Transit will get into all these further in a few weeks with a feature or two on Transit’s The Professional page. So, be informed and tune in ; )
The forum was organized by JobsDb.com w/ Trade Advisory Services, and w/Transit as a media partner. Held at the New World Renaissance Hotel last July 6, 2007 w/ speakers Dr. Cielito Habito, Atty. Anthony Abad, Mr. Raphael Madarang and Mr. Ed Rodriguez
