Household Population aged 15 Years Old and Over The number of persons aged 15 years old and over enumerated in private households during the survey indicates the number of persons available for work. In 2016, the country’s working age population 15 years old and over totaled 68.31 million persons. Across regions, CALABARZON recorded the biggest number of this population group at 9.54 million persons. This was followed by NCR with 8.92 million persons and Central Luzon with 7.56 million persons. The working age population in Ilocos Region, Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, Davao Region and SOCCSKSARGEN ranged from 3.0 million to 3.90 million persons. CAR had the least count of this age group at 1.21 million persons (Table 1).

Labor Force Labor force describes the population aged 15 years old and over, whether employed and unemployed, who contributed to the production of goods and services in the country. It serves as an indicator of the extent by which working age population joins the stream of available manpower supply. A total of 43.36 million persons were in the labor force in 2016. It corresponded to labor force participation rate (LFPR) of 63.5 percent (Tables 2a-2b). By region, the biggest labor force population was registered in CALABARZON at 6.13 million persons. NCR and Central Luzon came next with 5.61 million persons and 4.69 million persons, respectively. The labor force counts in Cagayan Valley, MIMAROPA, Zamboanga Peninsula, SOCCSKSARGEN, Caraga and ARMM ranged from 1.14 million to 1.93 million persons. The least number was noted in CAR at 0.80 million persons. The 2016 LFPRs were highest in Central Visayas at 66.9 percent, Northern Mindanao at 66.7 percent and CAR at 66.1 percent. LFPRs from 62.0 percent to 62.9 percent were exhibited by NCR, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas and Davao Region. It was lowest in ARMM at 52.4 percent.

Employment and Unemployment Indicators relating to labor market such as employment measures the rate of absorption of available manpower supply in the production of goods and services. On the other hand, unemployment indicates the inefficiency of the labor market to absorb the available human resources to contribute to production activities. In 2016, about 41.0 million persons were employed nationwide. This was equivalent to national employment rate (ER) of 94.6 percent (Tables 3a-3b). On the other hand, unemployment in the country summed up to 2.36 million persons in 2016. Unemployment rate (UR) figured to 5.4 percent (Tables 4a-4b).

At the regional level, the biggest numbers of employed and unemployed persons were located in CALABARZON at 5.69 million and 0.44 million, respectively. In NCR, there were 5.24 million persons who were employed and 0.37 million persons who were unemployed. Meanwhile, the employment and unemployment counts were also high in Central Luzon corresponding to 4.38 million persons and 0.31 million persons. CAR had the fewest numbers of employed persons at 0.77 million and unemployed persons at 35,000. Cagayan Valley registered the highest employment rate at 96.9 percent while its unemployment rate was the lowest at 3.1 percent in 2016. High ERs were also noted in Zamboanga Peninsula at 96.2 percent and ARMM at 96.1 percent. Their respective unemployment rates stood at 3.8 percent and 3.9 percent. CALABARZON topped the unemployment rate at 7.2 percent. This was followed by NCR at 6.7 percent, Central Luzon at 6.6 percent and Ilocos Region at 6.2 percent.

Visible Underemployment Visibly underemployed persons are those who worked for less than 40 hours during the reference week and still wanted additional hours of work. This indicator measures the level of dissatisfaction of the participants in the labor market with the working condition and/or remuneration they receive in exchange for their labor input. Countrywide, the number of visibly underemployed persons in 2016 reached 4.15 million translated to visible underemployment rate of 10.1 percent (Tables 5a-5b). The majority of the visibly underemployed persons in 2016 were reported in Bicol Region at 453,000 and CALABARZON at 430,000. In Central Luzon, Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas and Northern Mindanao, underemployment numbered 326,000 to 360,000 persons. The least counts were noted in CAR at 81,000 persons and ARMM at 91,000 persons. VIsible underemployment rates topped in Bicol Region at 19.4 percent and Eastern Visayas at 18.5 percent. This was followed by Caraga at 16.9 percent and Northern Mindanao at 16.3 percent. Underemployment rates in Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, CALABARZON, Central Visayas, Davao Region and ARMM ranged from 7.5 percent to 8.4 percent. NCR posted the lowest rate at 3.3 percent.

Employment in Agriculture The number of gainfully employed persons in agriculture measures the extent of absorption of the available manpower supply in agriculture and its contribution to the total economy. In 2016, about 11.06 million persons were employed in agriculture. This comprised 27.0 percent of the country’s total employment (Tables 6a-6b).

The biggest counts of the employed persons in agriculture were recorded in Western Visayas at 1.10 million and Central Visayas at 0.94 million. Agricultural employment was also bigger in Cagayan Valley, Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN and ARMM ranging from 0.73 million to 0.84 million persons. In contrast, the least employment in

Across regions, Northern Mindanao reported the biggest number of children aged 5-17 years old working in agriculture at 96,000 in 2016. More working children in agriculture ranging from 68,000 to 88,000 were found in Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Central Visayas and Eastern Visayas. In contrast, fewer children of this age group were noted in Central Luzon with 19,000 and CALABARZON with 17,000. NCR had the least count with only 1,000 children aged 5 to 17 years old who were working in the agriculture sector. Regionwise, the biggest proportion of children aged 5 to 17 years old working in agriculture to total working children of the same age group was maintained in ARMM with 81.5 percent in 2016. Higher proportions were also recorded in CAR at 75.8 percent, Zamboanga Peninsula at 67.1 percent and Cagayan Valley at 64.7 percent. On the other hand, Central Luzon and CALABARZON posted smaller proportions at

21.8 percent and 15.3 percent, respectively. In NCR, only 2.9 percent of

the region’s children belonging to age group 5 to 17 years old were reported to be working in agriculture.
