Abstract

Using work from home (WFH) scores obtained by matching Philippine occupations with classifications defined by Dingle and Neiman (2020), this paper estimates that only 12.38 percent of all workers can work from home and 25.7 percent of Philippine occupations are teleworkable, mostly from the following occupation groups: professionals, clerical support workers, and technicians and associate professionals. The education, real estate, and professional, scientific, and technical sectors account for the largest share of teleworkable jobs. Those belonging to lower per capita income deciles, who are male, who have lower levels of education, who are self-employed, aged 55 and older, and who are working in sectors such as agriculture and retail, are also less likely to be in tele-workable occupations.
