对20世纪90年代初以来劳动力调查数据的分析揭示了菲律宾劳动力结构的几个重要变化。一个是在广泛的生产部门从自营职业向有薪就业的转变。为了从工人收入的角度评估这一变化，我们将家庭收入和支出调查中的家庭收入信息与劳动力调查中的家庭成员就业相关活动信息结合起来，联合收割机。我们还研究了就业，工资和收入的广泛结构趋势。研究结果表明，高方差的自雇人士的收入和他们的收入和教育概况类似的临时工资雇员。即使在控制了可观察到的工人特征的情况下，固定工资雇员的工资也超过了这两个指标。随着自营职业让位于有薪就业，特别是服务部门的临时有薪就业，关键的政策挑战是解决工资和收入增长缓慢的问题。
Analysis of labor force survey (LFS) data since the early 1990s reveals several important changes in the structure of the Philippine labor force. One is the movement from self-employment to wage employment across a wide range of production sectors. To evaluate this change in terms of workers’ earnings, we combine information on household incomes from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey with information on household members’ employment-related activities from the LFS. We also examine broad structural trends for employment, wages, and earnings. The findings indicate high variance in the earnings of the self-employed and their earnings and educational profiles resemble those of casual wage employees. Both are surpassed by those of permanent wage employees even when observable worker characteristics are controlled for. As self-employment gives way to wage employment, especially casual wage employment in the services sector, the key policy challenge is tackling the slow growth of wages and earnings.
