    With the improved performance of women in formal education, greater attention is now being focused in expanding job options of women through technical-vocational training and non-formal education programs that are implemented by government agencies and NGOs. In the last decade, Filipino women have become increasingly active as men in realizing their economic rights, while being assisted with their childcare and other family responsibilities. They are in all kinds of employment in formal or informal work settings here and abroad. The last decade had seen an increase in the number of women in the labor force with 49% of all women working compared to 79% of men. [Para 70]
