The automotive industry is a highly global industry, it is technology driven and competition is intense. As a product, automotive is complex with large number of parts and components like textiles, glass, plastics, electronics, rubber, metals, etc. that involve different production processes. Promotion of the automotive industry can lead to an expansion of many complementary investments by automotive parts firms which can lay the foundation for broad-based industrial growth.

Description:

The Philippine Labor and Employment Plan (LEP) 2011-2016, a sector plan aligned with the Philippine Development Plan 2011-2016, provides the consolidated strategic direction for labor and employment in the medium-term. Launched on 28 April 2011 with the full support of the National Tripartite Industrial Peace Council (TIPC), the LEP represents the shared vision of stakeholders who provided inputs as to priorities and signified commitment to work collectively to bring about inclusive growth through decent and productive work. As the 4th Cycle of the Philippine Decent Work Common Agenda, the LEP supports the Global Jobs Pact by pursuing policy and program measures that will generate employment, extend social protection, respect labor standards and promote social dialogue.

In line with the efforts of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to mainstream decent and productive work in order to achieve equitable, inclusive and sustainable growth, the Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) conducted a Working World Trialogue (WWT) entitled “Understanding New Forms of Work Arrangements: A Policy Discussion on Outsourcing, Offshoring and Remote Work” on 10 May 2013 at the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC) in Quezon City.

The LEP Results Framework is envisioned as a tool that would help DOLE and the social partners monitor and improve its performance to achieve the decent work outcomes under the Philippine Labor and Employment Plan (LEP) 2011-2016. Working towards an integrated monitoring system, the LEP Results Framework focuses on developing performance indicators that will allow monitoring on: 1) how implementation is progressing with respect to realization and delivery of planned activities and products; and 2) whether progress is pointing in the right direction – progress towards achieving the intended results and impact.
