Hi! I would like to request for data on the number of unemployed parents during the covid19 pandemic in CAVITE. This includes single parents, married, cohabitating, separated, etc. as long as they have their children depending on them. If it's available, can there be an indication if they were unemployed before the pandemic or during the pandemic? And can there be data arranged by municipalities of Cavite too?
Thank you so much.

Response to your request

Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) stands as the national government agency mandated to formulate policies, implement programs and services, and serve as the policy-coordinating arm of the Executive Branch in the field of labor and employment. Thus, DOLE may have the data you need. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the DOLE by submitting a request to the DOLE via this portal. You may also contact the DOLE by telephone (from fixed line phones) at 1349 or by visiting their website at https://www.dole.gov.ph.
