Current Trends and Programs in Labor and Employment of the Agricultural Sector of the Philippines

Abstract

This paper aims to show the different trends in the labor and employment of the agricultural sector of the Philippines. It is shown that one of the main problems faced by this sector is a declining trend in the population of the agricultural work force as more and more Filipinos are lured by the incomes of the service sector. The paper also tackles different programs aimed at attracting more farmers to stay in their farms and contribute to the development of the agricultural sector of the Philippines.
