Abstract

Since the 1970s, the Philippines has faced a persistent skills mismatch, producing more college graduates than the economy can absorb. This has led to lower wages, decreased job satisfaction, reduced productivity, and higher turnover rates. Addressing this issue requires a well-functioning Labor Market Information System (LMIS). This study contributes to the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority Skills Anticipation and Prioritization of Skills Requirements (SAPSR) Framework, which helps identify skills needs. The study highlights valuable existing data sources and LMIs but points out significant areas for improvement in data collection, capability building, and institutional arrangements. The paper offers recommendations for enhancing the LMIS and SAPSR through partnerships, skills taxonomy, more detailed data collection, and collaboration with other initiatives like PhilJobNet and the Philippine Skills Framework. Training to utilize emerging data sources and qualitative and quantitative methods is also emphasized to ensure long-term success.
