Competing societal objectives in epidemic mitigation
School closures and suspension of non-essential economic activities are highly effective respiratory-pandemic mitigation strategies because they effectively interrupt disease transmission. However, they come with high societal costs. Most of these costs are borne by workers who lose their income, especially those who are not supported by welfare benefits, and students whose future income depends on their education. In countries where many househo…
Outlook and Policy Options for Philippine Employment Towards 2040
The Philippine labour market is characterized by a large and diverse workforce but faces significant issues, including adoption to continuing global technological changes in production. Addressing these challenges requires policies that target vital strategic industries for sustainable economic growth and job creation to fulfil its ambitions for the Filipino people in 2040. Using a computable general equilibrium model, we simulate the labour mark…
Assessing economic losses with Covid-19 integrated models
The COVID-19 pandemic led to a global crisis that forced governments to implement restrictive measures to control the spread of the disease. Although these restrictions, such as community quarantines, played a pivotal role in stabilizing healthcare systems, they also caused forced closures of various economic sectors that resulted in huge societal costs and severely impacted the marginalized. In order to understand and quantify the economic impac…
Economic losses from Covid-19 cases in the Philippines
The COVID-19 pandemic forced governments globally to impose lockdown measures and mobility restrictions to curb the transmission of the virus. As economies slowly reopen, governments face a trade-off between implementing economic recovery and health policy measures to control the spread of the virus and to ensure it will not overwhelm the health system. We developed a mathematical model that measures the economic losses due to the spread of the d…
Multilevel Pathways of Rural and Urban Poverty as Determinants of Childhood Undernutrition in the Philippines
This paper identified and compared pathways of childhood undernutrition among 308 rural and 310 urban children from low-income households in the Philippines. Multidisciplinary analyses based on quantitative and qualitative data revealed unique urban and rural constraints accounting for differing nutritional outcomes. Urban poor families were more food secure, though vegetable avoidance and poor micronutrient adequacy were observed. Rather than mi…
