    A study of the welfare of overseas Filipino worker supported households in Jones, Isabela
    (2002-10) Duran, Marie Christine A.; Panganiban, Rona Katrina C.
    The years since 1980 have brought a steady sequence of human capital outflow from the Philippines. Consequently, the Philippines has found its own niche and seized an important share of the world market for human capital exports. The idea of writing this paper came out of our own experience as part of a family with an OFW as bread winner and as an individual and a part of greater a community with a growing number of OFWs. Thus, we perceived two main questions in our my minds. The first was the correlation of an OFW breadwinner with its household welfare and second, was the need to understand the factors that affects the probability of being poor through the different demographics/characteristics of the OFW. We found that published books and papers did not adequately meet this challenges. Most deal with the macroeconomic impact of remittances, savings, and dollar reserves on the country. As a result, the microeconomic level - the households in particular, are left unnoticed. This paper is our attempt to provide an up-to-date analysis of the impact (both economically and socially) of an OFW supported households in a specific town. In analyzing this subject, our approach is to use two types of regression analysis that use first hand information to explain these challenges. The paper also attempts to give recommendations to further uplift the economic welfare of the OFWs and its left behind households.

    The impact of overseas Filipino workers' remittances on the education expenditures of Philippine households
    (2004-03) Marcelo, Katrina Carr De Guzman; Ulep, Maria Crescencia Parojinog; Quimbo, Stella
    In the Philippines, studies have been conducted on the impact of Overseas Filipino Worker remittances on various areas such as savings and the Balance of Payment account. However, the notion that Filipinos migrate abroad to be able to finance the education of their children has largely been taken for granted, and has yet to be explored This paper examines the impact of OFW remittances on the family's educational expenditure. Using the Ordinary Least Squares regression method on the 1998 Annual Poverty Indicator Survey. the ratio of remittances to total expenditures was formulated. This variable emphasizes the extent of the household's dependence on remittances as a source of income. It bas exhibited that the more dependent the family is on remittances, the greater is ·their expenditure on education; thus, verifying the impression that Filipinos work abroad to be able to increase their financial capacity in order to send their children to school. The OFW remittances variable was determined to have a positive effect on educational spending. In effect. confirming the perception that OFW remittances serve as a channel for investments in education. This belief is further reinforced by results that have indicated that remittances are positively correlated with the net enrollment ratio at the secondary level. However, the elasticity model reveals that relative to remittances, expenditure on education is more responsive to changes in total income, net of remittances. Results also indicate that relative to the loss of a job by an OFW family member, domestic unemployment is more likely to· decrease the family's spending on education. This in effect. highlights the need for active government participation in crafting policies that will entice a potential OFW to choose to work within the nation. However, given the country's current high population growth rate and unemployment levels, overseas employment is inevitable. Policies should then be aimed at encouraging the Filipino overseas worker to direct their remittances to more productive activities, such as investing in education as opposed to investing in residential infrastructures. Furthermore, policies designed to facilitate the transfer of remittances from OFWs to their families should be strengthened.
