It also provides a brief profile of the poor. Part two addresses the first strategic component for fostering inclusive growth, which refers to the enhancement of income opportunities and ensuring greater labor mobility for the poor. It begins by reviewing recent economic developments, with particular attention to employment generation, and evaluates the potential of key economic sectors to generate growth and productive employment. Part two then turns to the related challenge of ensuring labor mobility, identifying signs of labor market segmentation and factors that may be responsible for labor market rigidities which inhibit the fluid movement of workers toward the most productive activities. Part three discusses the other main component of fostering inclusive growth, which is to ensure that workers and households are well-equipped to take advantage of productive employment opportunities. It reviews the current state of health, education, and social protection in the Philippines and proposes measures for strengthening social service delivery.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO PRIMARY EDUCATIONACCESS TO SERVICESADMINISTRATIVE REGIONAGRARIAN REFORMAGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIESAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORAGRICULTURAL WAGESAGRICULTURAL WORKERSANNUAL GROWTHANTI-POVERTYAUTONOMOUS REGIONAVERAGE GROWTHAVERAGE GROWTH RATEAVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOMEBASIC EDUCATIONBASIC FOOD COMMODITIESCAPITAL REGIONCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCHILD HEALTHCHILD HEALTH SERVICESCHILD MORTALITYCHRONICALLY POORCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURECONSUMPTION EXPENDITURES PER CAPITACONSUMPTION GROWTHCONSUMPTION PER CAPITACOPING BEHAVIORSCOPING MECHANISMSCROSS-COUNTRY ANALYSISDAILY WAGEDEBTDETERMINANTS OF POVERTYDEVELOPMENT GOALSDEVELOPMENT POLICYDEVELOPMENT REPORTDIMENSIONS OF POVERTYECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC PERFORMANCEEDUCATION LEVELEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXCHANGE RATEEXPORT MARKETSFAMILY INCOMEFAMILY PLANNINGFARM SECTORFARM SIZEFARMERSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFISCAL CONSTRAINTSFOOD COMMODITIESFOOD PREPARATIONGEOGRAPHIC REGIONSGINI COEFFICIENTGROWTH ELASTICITYGROWTH EPISODEGROWTH PATTERNGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH PROCESSGROWTH RATEHEADCOUNT RATIOHEALTH CAREHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH ORGANIZATIONHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROFESSIONALSHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICE DELIVERYHIGH CONCENTRATIONHIGH POVERTYHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUNGERIMPACT ON POVERTYIMPROVEMENT OF INCOMEINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME ELASTICITYINCOME GROUPSINCOME GROWTHINCOME GROWTH RATEINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME QUINTILEINEQUALITYINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINTEGRATIONINVESTMENT CLIMATELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLAGGING REGIONSLAND REFORMLONG RUNLONG-TERM GROWTHMACROECONOMIC POLICIESMALNUTRITIONMARKET CAPITALIZATIONMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMEASURING POVERTYNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCENATIONAL POVERTYNATIONAL POVERTY LINENATIONAL POVERTY RATENATURAL DISASTERSNON-INCOME DIMENSIONSNON-POOR HOUSEHOLDSNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPER CAPITA EXPENDITUREPER CAPITA EXPENDITURE LEVELSPER CAPITA GROWTHPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOORPOOR CLIENTSPOOR FAMILIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR POPULATIONPOOR WOMENPOPULATION SHAREPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ESTIMATESPOVERTY GAPPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATEPOVERTY HEADCOUNT RATESPOVERTY INCIDENCEPOVERTY INCREASESPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LEVELPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY SEVERITYPOVERTY THRESHOLDPRO-POORPROVIDER PAYMENTPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SPENDINGRAPID GROWTHREDUCING POVERTYREFORM POLICIESREGIONAL AVERAGEREGIONAL CONTRIBUTIONREGIONAL DEVELOPMENTREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONREGIONAL PATTERNSREGIONAL POVERTYREGIONAL STANDARDSREMOTE RURAL AREASREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHRURALRURAL AREASRURAL FARMERSRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POVERTYSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOOLINGSECTOR ACTIVITIESSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSTRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATIONTARGETINGTOTAL POVERTYUNEMPLOYMENTUNEQUAL DISTRIBUTIONUNSKILLED LABORURBAN AREASURBAN POVERTYWAGE GROWTHWARWELFARE PROGRAMReportWorld Bank10.1596/27384
