PREFACE This Philippine Development Report (PDR) “Creating More and Better Jobs” is produced by the World Bank in consultation with the government, development partners, and other key stakeholders. Its objective is to support the government’s goal of attaining more inclusive growth as elaborated in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2011-2016. The PDP envisions a Philippines with “high growth that is sustained…that massively creates jobs…and reduces poverty.” To achieve this goal, the government intends to i) invest heavily in physical infrastructure, ii) improve governance, iii) enhance human development, and iv) accelerate employment generation. The PDR tells the story of Philippine development as seen through the jobs lens. It analyzes the policy distortions that led to the country’s weak employment record; highlights the unique window of opportunity where government, business, labor, and civil society can work together and agree on an agenda on job creation; and outlines a number of recommendations which the reform coalition could consider to put the country on an irreversible path of inclusive growth and address the jobs challenge. Vice President : Axel van Trotsenburg, EAPVP Country Director : Motoo Konishi, EACPF Sector Director : Sudhir Shetty, EASPR Lead Economist : Rogier van den Brink, EASPR Task Team Leader : Karl Kendrick Chua, EASPP v Draft for discussion and subject to change.
