“…In the Philippines, work-from-home (WFH), or telework arrangements were adapted by businesses if their line of work allows their employees to do so. Gaduena et al (2022) estimated that only 25.7% of occupations in the Philippines are teleworkable. Although there was a swift adoption of such measure to those that have the capability to do so, some jobs cannot be performed remotely (Gaduena et al 2022).…”

Uncertainty Analysis of Business Interruption Losses in the Philippines Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic

In this study, we utilize an input–output (I–O) model to perform an ex-post analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic workforce disruptions in the Philippines. Unlike most disasters that debilitate physical infrastructure systems, the impact of disease pandemics like COVID-19 is mostly concentrated on the workforce. Workforce availability was adversely affected by lockdowns as well as by actual illness. The approach in this paper is to use Philippine I–O data for multiple years and generate Dirichlet probability distributions for the Leontief requirements matrix (i.e., the normalized sectoral transactions matrix) to address uncertainties in the parameters. Then, we estimated the workforce dependency ratio based on a literature survey and then computed the resilience index in each economic sector. For example, sectors that depend heavily on the physical presence of their workforce (e.g., construction, agriculture, manufacturing) incur more opportunity losses compared to sectors where workforce can telework (e.g., online retail, education, business process outsourcing). Our study estimated the 50th percentile economic losses in the range of PhP 3.3 trillion (with telework) to PhP 4.8 trillion (without telework), which is consistent with independently published reports. The study provides insights into the direct and indirect economic impacts of workforce disruptions in emerging economies and will contribute to the general domain of disaster risk management.

“…Attention to the regulation of workers' rights, especially to support the existence of remote working, is not only the concern of the Indonesian state. ASEAN countries also participated in discussions or even made amendments to their labor laws, such as those carried out by Malaysia (Wahab, Razak, & Mahmod, 2022), Singapore (boundlesshq.com, 2020), Thailand (Koty, 2023) and Philippines (Gaduena, Caboverde, & Flaminiano, 2022) (Mores, 2022). The following is a brief description of the remote working provisions in these countries:…”

The popularity of working from home or remote working is rising globally. In Indonesia, the existence of the internet underpins the trend of working from home since accessing this technology is effortless. However, existing regulatory provisions mostly govern matters regarding office work, while the rights and responsibilities between employers and employees in the remote working scheme have never been specifically regulated. This situation creates a huge gap between what is stated in a written law and law in action. This research aims to analyze the congruence of agreements with the fulfilment of rights of workers working from home from the perspective of legislation and the principles of labor development. This research employed sociological and legal methods. The research results indicate that the fulfilment of labors’ rights in both the agreement and implementation has not met the principles of labor development. The conflict of rights and criminal violations regarding this matter is obvious since workers’ rights governed in the legislation are not governed in the work agreement. Moreover, there is still incongruence between the regulations and implementation of the rights of workers regarding the portion of break/leave and overtime wages.

“…Industry 4.0 involves, among other things, managing the workflow of integrated activities between various processes, devices, and users (Bellini et al, 2022). When evaluating the literature, it is noticeable that there are many studies and reports about how Industry 4.0 changes and will change the local workforce (Bag et al, 2021; Burgess & Connell, 2021; Gaduena et al, 2022; Paz et al, 2022) and how the above-mentioned practices need to evolve (e.g., Flores et al, 2020). The results show that robots and other assistant systems will not replace human workforce.…”

Impact of Industry 4.0 Technology on International Posting of Workers

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Posting of workers is a common reality in all EU Member States and in all export-oriented industries. The problem relates to existing travel restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic and in the context of the carbon footprint of business travel. In this context, the development of new Industry 4.0 technologies plays a significant role. The aim of the article is to identify the impact of Industry 4.0 technology on the international posting of workers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic on example of the German chemical industry. The basis of the analysis are two factor conditions of the Diamond Model of M.E. Porter: innovation and human capital. A qualitative study was conducted with experts in Industry 4.0 that regularly post workers. The results indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the pace of technology adoption (especially Augmented Reality cluster). Industry 4.0 technologies enable companies to reduce the posting of workers. For this purpose, IT skills are now the most important, followed by communication, flexibility, and openness, as well as soft, team and didactic skills. JEL Codes: F23, J61, O33
