Building Human Capital : Lessons from Country Experiences – Philippines
Human capital is the Philippines' most important resource. Two examples of its benefit to the country: remittances from skilled and semi-skilled workers who work abroad amount to about 10 percent of its GDP, and it is one of the top destinations for foreign enterprises seeking educated workers for outsourcing their business processes. However, the Philippines has been losing its human capital edge over the past decades, with critical gaps in access to social services and in the quality of those services. In 2018, its rating on the Human Capital Index, a composite measure based on survival rates, the quantity and quality of schooling, and health status, was 0.55, putting it just ahead of Indonesia but well below Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. Within the past decade, the Philippines adopted an ambitious national social agenda that, if implemented well, funded adequately, and monitored assiduously, could put it back on a more robust human development path. All efforts should be made, however, to safeguard this promising agenda from the implementation problems that evidence suggests have subverted the country's past performance, weak governance, selfish political interest, and widespread corruption. Sound policies won't lead to progress unless they are implemented well across the agencies and levels of government.

In: The Philippine review of economics: a joint publication of the University of the Philippines, School of Economics and the Philippine Economic Society, Band 60, Heft 1, S. 10-18
The articles in this Symposium on the Care Economy contend that a better understanding of the care work that households provide would deepen our understanding of how economies operate and why public policies may or may not have their desired impact.
Mindfulness at work: A critical re-view
In: Organization: the interdisciplinary journal of organization, theory and society, Band 28, Heft 4, S. 531-554
ISSN: 1461-7323
This article provides a critical re-view of the literature and studies of mindfulness at work. It offers a constructive and sympathetic yet also reflective and critical problematisation of the field. The re-view documents and examines the contributions of four different orientations towards mindfulness at work. These are as follows: individual mindfulness, collective mindfulness, individual wisdom and collective wisdom. Drawing on these contributions, the article makes the case for an 'anti-anti mindfulness'. It argues for the self-critical promotion of mindfulness as a vehicle for extending and promoting the insights of organisational studies.
