 A big population means a large number of
students graduating from schools. College and
high school graduates will have a difficult time
getting a job because of competition. In the end,
the big number of those without a job will become
part of the unemployment rate.
What are the types of
unemployment?
1. Frictional
2. Cyclical
3. Structural
4. Seasonal
 Common causes of

PHILIPPINES
2. Excessive supply of
labor-force

The second cause of

unemployment in the
Philippines is related to the
education system of the
country.
PHILIPPINES
2. Excessive supply of
labor-force

In the past years, many

graduated from courses that
were considered in-demand or
those with high hiring
percentage.

labor-force

Job and Skill mismatch -

college graduates whose
skills and knowledge does
not match the current needs
of the industries.

2. Excessive supply of
labor-force

Example:
Large number of students who took
up nursing in college in the past
years work in different fields that
are not related to their course, such
as in call centers.
PHILIPPINES
2. Excessive supply of
labor-force
Example:
HRM Graduates – Service Crew /
Call Centers
The large number of graduates from
this field but with limited number of
job vacancies result to the excessive
supply of labor force.

3. Limited job opportunities
Developing countries like the
Philippines face many problems
including creating jobs for its big
population.
Seek work in countries w/ numerous
job opportunities such as Hong Kong,
the Middle East, United States, Japan,
and Australia, among others.
PHILIPPINES
3. Limited job opportunities

benefits, and good working
condition abroad even encourage
those who are employed to leave
the country. This resulted to a surge
of OFWs the past decades.

employees, which would give many people
