Outsourcing Increase Creates 41,000 New Jobs in Philippines
(December 30, 2005 - GlobalSourcingNow) - According to the Commission
on Information and Communications Technology (CICT), ICT-related services
have created around 41,000 new jobs in the Philippines in the first
nine months of 2005. The figure is around 95 percent of the total
employment opportunities generated in the ICT sector in 2005.
The Philippine ICT industry has witnessed significant growth on
the back of increasing outsourcing and BPO opportunities. The countrys
outsourcing industry offers services in the field of BPO, medical
transcription, and animation and software development.
(Comment from O2P: Good news from CICT. I'm not sure where they
got the number from, but it sounds pretty good, and actually fits
the presumption of rapid growth that continues in the ITeS sector.
I would like to see the backup data on this number and the source(s)
from which it came, but it is a positive sign that growth will continue
at a good and hopefullyt manageable rate.)
