dc.descriptionInvesting in the employment of young people helps realize the potential of human capital in terms of wealth and savings, leading to huge economic and also ultimately, social gains. Young people struggling to find jobs after they leave school is still a persistent problem in the Philippines. It is not able to absorb all new entrants to the job market or reduce their entry into the informal market. Creating wage jobs for the youth is critical to help reduce poverty and income inequality in the country. Youth not in employment, education, or training (NEET) and slow school-to-work transition is a challenge in the Philippines. In 2013, one in four young Filipinos (between the ages of 15–24) were NEET. In 2014–2015, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) piloted the JobStart Philippines Program (JSP) in four local government units. The JSP has assisted young Filipinos to start their careers, support skills enhancement through formal or technical training to enable them to become more responsive to the demands of the job market, and provide better integration opportunities into productive employment.
