20 RICH COUNTRIES WHERE OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKERS (OFW) FIND BETTER JOBS.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) refer to Filipino individuals who leave the Philippines to work in other countries. They are also commonly known as Filipino migrant workers. OFWs contribute significantly to the Philippine economy through remittances, which are the funds they send back to their families in the Philippines.
OFWs are sought after in many countries due to their skills, work ethic, adaptability, and proficiency in the English language. They are employed in various industries and sectors, depending on the demand and opportunities available in each country. Common sectors where OFWs work include healthcare, construction, engineering, information technology, hospitality, domestic work, caregiving, and skilled trades.
The demand for OFWs can vary from country to country and over time. It is influenced by factors such as economic conditions, labor market needs, government policies, and bilateral agreements between the Philippines and other countries. Some countries actively recruit OFWs to address labor shortages in specific sectors, while others have established immigration programs to attract skilled Filipino workers.
OFW's are considered modern day Filipino heroes. They contribute much to the Philippine economy and in a way, helping the government provide basic services needed by Filipinos. While the earnings that they remit greatly contribute to the Philippine economy, what makes OFWs heroes is their willingness to sacrifice being near to their families to earn money for them.
As a parent, it is disheartening and depressing being away from your children and other loved ones. But, at the same time, it is hard to turn down a higher wage, especially if it will benefits your family.
