OFW and its benefits for the Filipinos
Access to Better Education for Children
With higher income, OFWs are able to enroll their children in private schools or colleges with better facilities and academic standards.
Education funded by OFW remittances often leads to better career opportunities for the next generation.
Reduced Local Unemployment
Overseas employment absorbs a significant portion of the domestic labor force.
This helps ease job competition and lowers the unemployment rate in the Philippines.
The government also benefits from reduced pressure to create immediate jobs domestically.
Empowerment of Women
A large percentage of OFWs are women, especially in roles such as domestic helpers, nurses, and caregivers.
Overseas work gives them financial independence and allows them to take leadership roles in supporting their families.
This shift has also contributed to changing societal norms about gender roles in Filipino households.
Improved Housing and Living Conditions
Many OFWs use their earnings to build or renovate homes for their families.
This often results in better sanitation, access to clean water, and safer living environments.
It also contributes to the development of rural and suburban areas.
