Labor and Employment

Table 15 shows the distribution of dependents by age group and sex. This provides an accounting to those who have the potential to earn their own income and who are most likely dependent on the working group. It is the lack of potential income that generally qualifies those under 15 and over 64 as dependents, as they are often necessary subject to outside support to meet their needs. 

Base from the projected households in 2015, these dependents constitute 33.82 percent of the total projected household dependents’ population. Belonging to age group 0 to14 years constitutes 30.08 percent and the oldest group (65 years and over) accounted for 3.74 percent. The overall projected dependency ratio in 2015 is 40. This means that for every 100 persons aged 15 to 64 years, there are about 40 dependents.This provides an overview for the planners and policy makers to track this shifts in the population in order to craft appropriate plans, policies, programs and projects. 

 

 

Labor Force

Figure 16 shows the result of the labor force survey conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) particularly the rates of labor force participation, employment, unemployment and underemployment. In the recent survey, employment rates tops the most percentage which means majority are reported either at work or with a job or business although not at work. And unemployment to be the least which means persons in the labor force who are reported as (1) without work; and (2) currently available for work; and (3) seeking work or not seeking work because of the belief that no work is available, or awaiting results of previous job application, or because of temporary illness or disability, bad weather or waiting for rehire or job recall. On the other hand, underemployment refers to the employed persons who express the desire to have additional hours of work in their present job or an additional job, or have a new job with longer working hours.Labor Force refers to the population 15 years old and over who contribute to the production of goods and services in the country. It comprises the employed and unemployed.

Figure 17. shows the percentage of child labor or children aged between 5-14 years engaged in labor. For the last two years, it could be observed that there is a minimal increase by about .03 percent. This could be attributed to the root of child laborwhich is poverty and the lack of decent work for parents. They deny their children the chance to attend school and learn the skills they need to become productive adults and force their kids to work to earn income for their families. Hence, the city needs to strengthen the implementation of existing laws or perhaps even implement tougher penalties against employers that illegally employ child workers to curb this abuse.

Located in the heart of the province, it can be likened to Wall Street, if there was one in the city.
 
Valencia City sits atop the Bukidnon plateau, beside the mighty Pulangi River. Most of the city’s land area is considered rural as it’s full of lush forests and fertile agricultural area. The local government has long-term plans to transform Valencia City into the country’s foremost producer of organic rice.Typical of the region, rolling hills, mountain ranges, waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and caves make up Valencia City.
 
But what sets it apart from the rest of the region is Lake Apo. This serene lake has a beautiful backdrop of hills and mountains and greenery. It’s a crater lake with clear waters, and the cleanest inland body of water in Northern Mindanao.
