PDP update to focus on job growth

The National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) over the weekend tapped civil society organizations (CSO) to help generate employment in the midterm update of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP).

“A key update to the PDP is highlighting the importance of employment generation to achieve inclusive growth. The update also aimed to mainstream employment concerns and make these concerns more prominent in the chapters where they are relevant,” Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said.
