    Global migration is common among Filipinos seeking better opportunities abroad. There are over 2.3 million overseas Filipino workers worldwide, many in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Hong Kong. High unemployment and lower salaries in the Philippines are key drivers of migration, as workers go abroad for job security and higher pay to support their families. However, global migration may stall the Philippines' development if professionals continue to leave, so Filipinos are encouraged to serve their country while pursuing improved living standards.

    ACTIVITY M2.7: THE GLOBAL MIGRATION

    (410 words)

    Global migration as defined by the Cambridge dictionary, is a situation in which

    people go to live in foreign countries, especially in order to find work. In the Philippines,

    m
    er as
    migrating abroad has been a pervasive culture to us Filipinos which made it common

    co
    eH w
    and even desirable for almost all Filipino workers. With the desire to live a better life,

    o.
    rs e
    these people are willing to risk everything including leaving their lives that they grew up
    ou urc
    in. But regardless of these desires, what could possibly be the concrete factors that
    o

    persuade these Filipinos to work abroad.

    In the year 2018, there were 2.3 million Overseas Filipino Workers across the

    world according to the Philippine Statistics Authority. These workers are most likely

    migrating to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong. But what are the

    factors that urge these workers to leave their lives in their own country behind? First is
    is

    because of our country’s high unemployment rate. With the increasing rate for
    Th

    unemployment, workers especially fresh graduates are having a hard time to find a job;

    in order to avoid the feeling of embarrassment to the family and peers, Filipino workers
    sh

    choose to leave their country to ease the burden of their families and seek greener

    pastures outside the Philippines. Second is that there is a higher salary/income abroad

    compared in the Philippines. Philippines is low-ranked when it comes to the salary

    structure around the globe that is why most people are having a hard time to make ends

    meet. With that being said, Filipino workers are tempted to migrate although there is no

    certainty as to what kind of life will they experience when living abroad. And lastly, job

    insecurity due to contractual status. We often hear the Filipino phrase, “Magpapaalila ka

    na rin lang, eh doon na sa kumikita ng dolyar”, this goes to show that contractual

    employees earning minimum wage are willing to jeopardize their status just for the sake

    of a higher and a more stable pay in another country.

    Global migration has been an ongoing economic trend for us Filipinos. It may

    m
    er as
    seem acceptable to desire for a better life for your family, but we must always keep in

    co
    eH w
    mind that we were born Filipino to serve for the Philippines. It will never be a shame to

    o.
    rs e
    aim higher but also never forget where you came from because as long as this cycle of
    ou urc
    professionals migrating continue, the status of our country will also remain stagnant.
