MANILA, Philippines – A study released by the International Labor Organization (ILO) revealed that 15 per cent of employees in the Philippines are lowly paid, lower than what Cambodians and Indonesians are receiving.
Between the male and female employees, the latter is more at a disadvantage at 18.2 per cent compared to male workers at 12.1 percent.
The international labor office, then, called on the concerned countries to continue improving their wage setting mechanisms, either through collective bargaining agreements and minimum wages, as well as developing sound wage policies.
“These can help reduce vulnerabilities and the risk of low-paid workers falling into poverty,” said the ILO. –Manila Bulletin
