Facts and Perspectives: Women's Labour Migration from the Philippines

This report presents findings from a small-scale research that aimed to understand the perspectives and attitudes of women migrant workers from the Philippines on return and reintegration. It shows that women's decision to return is not straightforward, with many factors playing a role, such as the availability of savings, children's wellbeing, other family members' expectations, and the overall feeling of success from the migration experience. The report also provides an overview of the Philippine government policies for migrant workers, including those on return and reintegration.
