Regulating Homework in the Philippines: Little Progress in Enforcement after Three Decades
Homeworkers in the Philippines have had a tumultuous journey, shaped by shifting national and international trade policies. These shifts have arguably also affected the attention paid to issues faced by homeworkers, both by the state and by worker organizations. The Labor Code of the Philippines is progressive, but there is very little research showing how its provisions have been enforced.
Through this brief, we seek to address this research gap by understanding how the Code is enforced and the challenges and opportunities in its enforcement. The brief is part of a series examining national laws applicable to homeworkers and the role that worker organizations have played in their design, implementation and enforcement.
