・Summary
The Philippines, like many developing nations, grapples with persistent
unemployment and underemployment challenges, affecting particularly
its young graduates and vulnerable populations. This is amplified by the
adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to an escalation in
social issues like robbery, self-harm and mental health issues. A
comprehensive initiative titled "A Chance to Grow," grounded in
Sustainable Development Goal 8 - promoting sustained, inclusive, and
sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and
decent work for all.
