In reaction to President Rodrigo Duterte’s call for some 260,000
OFW’s in Kuwait to come home, the youth group Partido Manggagawa-Kabataan (PMK)
asked if there are decent jobs awaiting them in the Philippines.
“We welcome our parents coming home from Kuwait so families can be
reunited. But are there regular jobs paying living wages for them and the
600,000 new graduates plus thousands more finishing K-12 that won’t go to
college? The reason OFW’s go to Kuwait and elsewhere is because of lack of decent
jobs in the Philippines,” asserted Kim Dolojo, PMK spokesperson and a PUP
student.
Last week, PMK held a protest at the offices of the Department of
Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Employers Confederation of the Philippines
(ECOP) to highlight its call for decent jobs for young workers.
“President Duterte is again making a personal promise, this time of
providing jobs for OFW’s. But he has yet to deliver on his campaign promise two
years go to end endo the moment he assumes the presidency. Mr. President, not
another broken promise,” Dolojo warned.
She added that “So this Labor Day, PMK members are joining
Nagkaisa, KMU and other labor groups is uniting to denounce the administration’s
broken promises and demanding regular jobs for Filipinos.”
Dolojo insisted that “In 2016, 78% of the jobless
were 15 to 34 years old. Half of them were aged 24 years old or below. A
diploma is no antidote to unemployment as 34% of the unemployed had actually
gone to college and 20% were college graduates!”
PMK is raising a red flag as the
World Bank recently released a report about the lack of quality jobs in the
country and the worsening inequality as a result. The group is likewise
questioning ECOP for the Jobstreet data that only 24% of employers are willing
to hire K-12 graduates.
“An employers organization, the Philippine
Chamber of Commerce and Industry earlier questioned that the minimum number of
hours required of senior high school students are not enough to train and
qualify them for entry-level work,” Dolojo explained.
She cited the
International Labour Organization (ILO) report titled “Global Employment Trends
for Youth 2017: Paths to a better working future,” that stated that youth
unemployment rate for Southeast Asia and the Pacific is seen to rise from 11.7
percent in 2016 to 12 percent in 2017, and to 12.2 percent in 2018.
