This paper examines the relationship between gender and development within the context of deindustrialization in the Philippines. It evaluates the impacts of the observed transition from manufacturing to services on gender roles, labor markets, and socioeconomic structures. The paper surfaces the argument that premature deindustrialization in the Philippine setting has been detrimental to both men and women. Statistics from the Labor Force Survey presented in this paper allude to growing gender inequalities in labor outcomes amidst brisk economic expansion over the past decades. Among these findings are stark gender-based differences in educational attainment, labor force participation, and representation across job categories. The findings underscore the importance of reindustrialization to economic development and desirable gender outcomes.
