B)fiCIITIVE SUMMARY

Clark Special Economic Tnne (CSEZ) is the

biggest

indusbial

estate

in

the province of Parnpmga

It

has

fli trea of

34,497 hectares, divided into

industial

lots used

for

manufactrirtg

and incluskial

parks.

Although there are

numerolxi

intlusbies in

the CSEZ that generates employment,

*tis

^shrdy

focrnes its

^attention

on the

enrployment spillover in tlie gannents industry.

To rietetmine the extent of

employrnent

spillover the age, sex, place of

origin/residence, educational attairnnent

position held

and length

cf

service

of

workers were

considered.

Although resident

workers

dominale most of the

jobs _in

the garments indushy,

it ^is wor{hwhiie to

note that

there are a

substantiai

rumber of

non-resident w,orkers among the production staff and

line

leaelers.

To quali$ for

^these

jobs,

_workefs

should either be high school

or

vocalional school graduates. Lr the interest ofincreasing efficiency and productivity, ho'r.ryever,

it is

important ttrat rvorkers

tbr

these

johs

_{be hained} in dressmaking and related shills.

The garment^s

inilustry is

a fast

growing indusfy. As

such, the garments industry

is

expected

to

demmd

more skilled workers in the firture.

Thus,

baining

institutions,

paiticularly

vocational instihrtions, must

bain

more adequately hained manpower

for

^the

garments indusfitr:.

More specifically, vocational

instihrtions

in Angeles

fJify* neetl to

produce

more dress*uking

graduates

to sati$ the

increasing demand

for

production

stdworkers.

There was no corespondence between enrolment hends in

educational instihrtions

and the educational urd kaining needs of murpower for the

indushy.

&hrcational

institutions must

ancourage students

to take vocational

and technological courses since these courses are relevant to the manpower npeds

ofthe

gurnents industry'.
