Philippines BPO Faces AI Reskilling Gap

Gobi Partners' Solo Horizons report warns the Philippines can reskill only 53,500 workers a year against roughly 150,000 needed, leaving 96,500 without a seat as AI disruption peaks in 2026 and 2027. The IT-BPM sector's 1.89 million workers generated US$40.3 billion in 2025, with 306,000 facing displacement by 2030.
