Title changed to 'Philippine Review of Economics and Business' from 1980-2000, and again changed to 'Philippine Review of Economics' since 2001. Includes bibliographical references (pages 244-245) Governments are rightly concerned with employment generation to make growth inclusive. The use of the open unemployment rate to measure success, however, may be misplaced. In a developing country like the Philippines, with a large informal sector and in the absence of unemployment insurance, open unemployment is primarily a middle-class phenomenon: the unemployed are not predominantly poor, and the poor are not predominantly unemployed. Measures of productivity and shifts of labor across sectors may contain more information and be more welfare-relevant. UnemploymentxEffect of unemployment insurance on Philippines.
