Title of Proposed Study

Economic Impact of Migration in the Philippines

INTRODUCTION – In 100 words, describe your study

According to Center for Migrant Advocacy 2012, the national economy is unable to provide enough jobs to sustain economic growth without labour emigration. Given the limited employment opportunities, migration becomes a necessity for Filipinos rather than a choice. Income from remittances provides opportunities for Filipino to allow children a better education, health care and livings standards. There is no doubt that Philippine labour migration has contributed to alleviating poverty. Without labour migration poverty would have significantly increased according to World Bank (2012). Moreover, the intellectual skill attained by migrants abroad may facilitate a transfer of technology. In economic terms, the income from OFWs increase the demand for goods and services, thereby stimulating the Philippine economy. Unfortunately, income is mostly used for consumption rather than investment. Remittances also provide a source of foreign currency, pivotal to maintaining a strong currency. However, the immense reliance on migration led to the neglect of the national industry. While migration has been steadily increasing the manufacturing industry, agriculture and export industry has been declining. As these sectors are declining fewer jobs are available to Filipinos, leading to higher unemployment. Despite this, the economy has been growing due to increasing remittances. This phenomenon of this ‘’jobless growth’’ occurs when the growth in the economy is not accompanied with growth in jobs. While remittances boost the income of OFW families, the unemployed have little prospect of attaining employment resulting in extreme poverty and great disparity in income.
