Description:
In the Philippines, there has been a rise of social enterprises that caters specifically on gender-sensitive sustainable enterprises, particularly for the informal sector. With the daunting challenge of the increasing number of natural disasters in the country and its devastating impact on lives, property and jobs, particularly the poor, a great number of social enterprises have gravitated on developing social enterprises that not only cater to their economic needs but are sustainable as well. It is this unique convergence of social protection, gender and climate change that espouses the very essence of inclusive growth wherein people are empowered to contribute to development, while equitably benefiting from the continuous yet sustainable expansion of economic pie. Under the Philippine Labor Employment Plan (LEP-2011-2016), the Department of Labor and Employment has committed to realize sustainable enterprises as a source of decent and productive employment for Filipino workers.
