dc.description.abstractThis policy note explores labour market legislation and policies with reference to issues of minimum wages, contractual choice, and industrial relations in the Philippines. Wage and salary workers comprise about 52 percent of the Philippines’ employed work force, placing the rest of the 34 million employed Filipinos outside the purview of most labor regulations. There is renewed importance of minimum wage legislation in both developed and developing countries brought about by an increase in the number of vulnerable workers, particularly those in part-time, temporary or casual employment, and more jobs with low pay, as well as widening income inequality.en
