Negative Impact of Labor Migration in the Community

Limited job opportunities and low labor costs in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, which
resulted in growing unemployment among the people, were the primary motivators for
large-scale labor migration. Many economists realize that one of the most direct options for
escaping poverty is labor migration. However, there is still a lot of discussion about whether and
how migration impacts communities of origin in the long run.
in the long run.

Some of the clear evidence of its impact are the poor diets and greater psychiatric
disorders can result from disrupted family life. When expected future returns to education are
low due to migration predictions, it may lower educational incentives. For family members left
behind, especially women, migration might limit labor force participation. As parents worked in
low-paying jobs in the city and only returned home once a year, the migrant labor system
resulted in fatherless households. Apartheid's architects made sure that these migrant workers
could easily reach taverns.

Migrants and their families are facing more problems and hurdles as the number of
people migrating from the Philippines grows. The involvement of private recruiting services in
pairing workers with companies in other countries has added to the difficulties. Illegal recruiting,
contract substitution, illegal placement fees, long working hours, and no days off (in the case of
domestic employees) are only some of the issues that arose in the 1970s.
