    Arroz, Mizpah B.; Duarte, Iris Faye M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-04)
    The study seeks to know how the unemployed college graduates perceived the existing unemployment condition in the country. Forty-five (45) unemployed college graduates in the town of Miag-ao, Iloilo served as respondents of the study. Majority of them were between 20-25 years of age. Interview schedule was used in gathering data. Data were analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. Results show that generally, unemployed college graduates of Miag-ao, Iloilo have a positive perception that they can find a job. Work experiences, high educational attainment and personal connections were the reasons of respondents that they will be employed in the future. However, steep competition and rigid requirements set by agencies and companies turned out to be the reasons for unemployment. With regard to job preferences, most of the respondents wanted to work in government agencies because it offers more benefits compared to private agencies. It further reveals that working abroad is the best resort for employment. Majority has plans of finding job outside the country for it offers higher salary and more job opportunities than in the country. The researchers recommend that further study be conducted regarding college graduates' perception of the unemployment condition in the country. The Local Government or Non-Government Organizations also in the community could initiate programs or activities that would give these individuals income while they are still unemployed

    A case analysis of the rehabilitation programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after typhoon Frank
    Alvarado, Rejay Y.; Sodusta, Russell P. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-05)
    This undergraduate research entitled A Case Analysis of the Rehabilitation Programs of the Municipality of Pavia, Iloilo after Typhoon Frank presents the different rehabilitation programs implemented by the Local Government of Pavia and their effects to the people of the said municipality. Using three different methods of data gathering and data triangulation, the researchers found out that the LGU of Pavia implemented a number of rehabilitation programs which include human, structural and livelihood rehabilitation. Results, however, show that there is an information gap between the implementers and the receiving end since the people barely recognize or are aware of, or are dissatisfied with the efforts and the performance of the LGU. The results also highlight some of the factors that lead to the vulnerability of the Municipality of Pavia to natural hazards. The analysis, which uses Piers Blaikie’s Release of Pressures Model, entails the ways by which the vulnerabilities of the municipality will be solved and eventually progress to safety. The researchers’ recommendations include suggestions for improvement based on the thematic areas of the Hyogo Framework for Action: governance; risk assessment; knowledge and information; risk management and vulnerability reduction, and, disaster preparedness and response.
