- Abstract
This study looked into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the determinants of part-time employment in the Philippines. Amartya Sen has mentioned that one disparity in a person's function capability is the occurrence of disasters such as the pandemic. Evidently, employment across the globe has been greatly affected by the pandemic as mentioned in the literature. The effect of the pandemic has been evident in the Philippines due to the policies implemented by the government such as lockdowns and other protocols to control the spread of the virus. As such due to the restrictions, a significant number of employees have lost their jobs and some engaged in part-time employment. By bridging the gap in the literature, the study looked into how the COVID-19 pandemic affects part-time employment in the Philippines by using multinomial logistic regression and making the COVID-19 pandemic an interaction time variable on the determinants. The results showed the determinants of part-time employment in the Philippines and the relationship of these determinants to part-time employment that changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the part of the government and business sector have also been drawn from this result of the study.
