| dc.description.abstract | This paper presents the qualifications and requirements overseas Filipino nurses acquire in order to go to their desired destinations, especially to the United States. The framework used is the Human Capital Model that assumes that people are utility maximizers, and that they take a lifetime perspective when making choices about investments. This paper utilizes a descriptive analytic case study and net present value analysis. The patterns and contents of the data gathered reveal that each destination has different qualifications, and the nurses who possess the needed qualities and requirements are the ones who are able to go. Destinations paying higher wages have more stringent requirements than countries offering lower wages. Thus, nurses who go to higher wage paying destination invest more on human capital than nurses who go to lower wage paying countries. The net present value of future benefits of investments associated with migration yields amount of returns for the different destination countries that is higher than what nurses will gain if they work in the Philippines. This makes migration a worthy investment for Filipino nurses. | |
