Item Restricted The effect of parental migration on the welfare outcomes of children in the Philippines(2016) Latinazo, Cara Gabrielle T. ; Trinidad, Enrico G.; Pajaron, Marjorie C.This paper aims to determine the impact of parental migration on child welfare through their education, labor and health outcomes. This is estimated using six econometric strategies—Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Probit, Multinomial Logit, Instrumental Variable Regression (IV), Bivariate Probit, and Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Our results reveal that the children of migrants do better, or at least as well, as children of non-migrants in the outcomes measured by our study. Across all models, children with migrant parents have a higher educational attainment than those with non- migrant parents. OLS, Probit and Bivariate Probit regressions indicate children of migrants are more likely to study regularly, while OLS, Probit and PSM regressions indicate they are less likely to have poor grades. They are also less likely to participate in the labor force. However, our results find little statistical or practical significance in the effect of migration on children’s health, with the exception of a slight decrease in the probability of temperament problems in some models. Results also show that heterogeneity in the impact of parental migration on children’s welfare exists for some outcomes. In male-headed migrant households in particular, male children are more likely to have poor grades and to have worked in the past year compared to female children, indicating a possible gender bias. Children are also more likely to have worked in the past year if they are male.Item Restricted Feminization of Philippine labor migration(2012-01) Garcia, Trixie Ann Dela Rosa; Oloc-oloc, Janine Mari Castro; Pernia, Ernesto M.Much of international labor migration originates in Southeast and South Asia, with an increasing number of women taking part in cross-border movements in search for work. This is being referred to as the «feminization of labor migration." This study considers the feminization trend globally and relates it to Philippine labor migration. We explore this phenomenon using trend analysis and reviewing related previous studies. Interviews with some Filipino women migrants were also conducted, to gain an in -depth understanding of the phenomenon. We :find that the majority of the Filipino women migrants provide domestic services which make them vulnerable to abuse and violation of human rights, though positive impacts are also observed in terms of the remittances sent to their families and local communities in the Philippines. The global care chain is seen at the core of the trend. The development of the service sector in developed nations has provided employment opportunities that attract women in particular. Given that the government has been promoting the development of the OFW sector, we conclude that the feminization of labor migration will likely continue.Item Restricted An empirical investigation of tan economic argument for an increasing rural-to-urban migration, Philippines, 1967-1977(1981-03) Ceniza, Cecille Anne Espina; Jurado, GonzaloItem Restricted Interregional migration and countryside development(1981-03-17) de Vega, Rebecca A.; Sison, Cynthia Elaine E.; Arroyo, Gloria M.Item Restricted Internal migration in the Philippines: a case study of construction workers in Metro Manila(1981-01) Ocay, Flodeliza F.; Elumba, Nancy P.; Arroyo, Gloria M.Item Restricted Regional attributes affecting the degree of temporary overseas migration(1982-10-07) Alvarez, Karina B.; de Borja, Elizabeth; Jurado, GonzaloItem Restricted Migration of Filipino workers trends and implications (1975-1981)(1982-04) Calapan, Asuncion S.; Samaniego, Angelita C.; Fabella, Raul V.Item Restricted Philippine labor migration to the Middle East and its effects on Philippine labor force size and composition(1981-03) Dizon, Cecilla Regina T.; Gonzales, Liz Marie E.Item Restricted Internal migration in the Philippines: a case study of contruction workers in Metro Manila(1981-01) Elumba, Maria Nancy P.; Ocay, Flordeliza F.Item Restricted Rural-urban migration and the change in expected income differential in the Philippines(1983-09) Angara, Ma.
