Chapter 1: Introduction

Background of the Study

In the Philippines, many high school students work part-time jobs to support their families or to earn
extra income for personal expenses. However, the impact of work hours on the academic performance

year-olds in the Philippines was 34.5% in 2020. This means that a significant number of high school
students are working while studying. The study also found that the majority of working students are
engaged in low-paying jobs in the service sector, such as sales clerks, waiters, and domestic helpers. The
impact of work hours on academic performance has been studied extensively in other countries, but
there is a lack of research on this topic in the Philippines. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the
