The Effect of Structural Change on Labor Productivity Growth and Employment in the Philippines

Philippines is considered one of the fastest developing economies because of the growing service sector. This growth brought a significant change in the economic structure of the country which previously relied on the agricultural sector. This paper conducted a study about the significant impact of structural change on labor productivity growth and employment. The paper localized the decomposition analysis used in literatures to extract the share of “within” sector and “structural change” to total changes in labor productivity in the Philippines from 2004-2018, and Applied Pooled Least Square, to obtain the impact of structural change to labor productivity growth and employment. Based on Durbin-Watson test results, both Panel Regression Equation and Seemingly Unrelated Equation were utilized because there is no contemporaneous autocorrelation found in Pooled Least Square. Using Breusch-Pagan LM Test, Panel Regression is deemed more appropriate than Seemingly Unrelated Regression. Furthermore, the decomposition analysis showed that higher share of service sector in employment makes the contribution of “structural change” lesser to labor productivity growth due to labor market that becomes less flexible as service sector dominates the labor market because of higher skillsets needed by the sector. The regression analysis showed that structural change is a significant determinant of employment and labor productivity; structural change has a positive relationship to labor productivity due to the transfer of labor to high-productivity sector; and structural change has a negative relationship to employment because the employment brought by the structural change cannot be absorbed by the labor force because of skills mismatch.

Effects of Waltermart Supermarket on Small Retail Business

This study assessed the effects of Waltermart Supermarket on small retail businesses in Candelaria, Quezon, Philippines. Using the adapted questionnaire from Cantuba (2015), retailers assessed the effects of Waltermart on their sales and revenue, product movement, and customer attraction and retention using the 5-scale Likert style. The adapted questionnaire from Lee (2008) was also used to assess the strategic response of the retailers to maintain sustainable operation using marketing practices, merchandising practices, customer service practices, and business operation practices using 5-scale Likert style. A total of sixty registered retailers were used as the sample. Findings revealed that retailers are moderately affected by the presence of Waltermart with ‘customer attraction and retention’ ranked the highest, and ‘sales and revenue’ as the lowest. In terms of strategic practices used by retailers to maintain sustainable operation in the presence of Waltermart, findings revealed that ‘business operation practices’ ranked the highest, and ‘merchandising practices’ as the lowest. For this, retailers need to continue an effective business operation and enhance the quality, competitiveness, and availability of the product through good inventory quality control management. As the study offers an assessment of the effects of Waltermart on retailers, the results suggest an in-depth analysis of the impact of supermarkets on the retailer’s performance through financial ratios.
