THE PHILIPPINES fell to near bottom in an annual global ranking of countries’ ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce, amid a decline in the quality of life, the Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Competitiveness Center said.
In the IMD’s World Talent Ranking (WTR) 2025, the Philippines slipped a spot to 64th out of 69 countries. Last year, it ranked 63rd out of 67 economies.
