Abstract

For a long time, Thelma "Tayna" Reyes-Miclat has understood not just the plight, but equally the value, of women in the Philippine workplace. According to a gender equality study by the Asian Development Bank (2013), women in the Philippines experience gender inequality in several key areas: labor force participation, human capital, unpaid domestic and care work burden, vulnerable employment, wage employment, decent work, and social protection. Since the Philippines has a family- oriented culture, women often quit work after getting married or having children, particularly during the typical childbearing ages of 25 to 29 (World Economic Forum, 2019). When women do find work, they are limited to certain occupations and denied male counterparts' opportunities for wider employment.
