Filipino Workers - Among Top Foreign Workers Around the World
According to a news report that I read from a newspaper which is
about the recent report released by the Population Bureau in Washington,
DC, they claim that Philippines has the bigger Labor export all over
the world. Based on latest statistics about Filipino's working and
living overseas, we have an about 7 million Filipino workers abroad.
And this the reason why they said, that Filipinos are among Top Foreign
Workers in the World...
But why do you think millions of Filipinos leaving the country? I
think, the first reason is not mainly because of lack of Jobs, it's
because they have bigger and better dreams for themselves and most
especially for their family. They can get a job in Philippines why
not, the country is a rich nation when it comes to Agriculture and
Fisheries. They can be farmer, fisherman, sales ladies, nurses, store
owners and others?
But their income from that job is not enough to sustain their family.
The farmer in America is more than ten times richer than farmers in
our country, the garbage collector in America is also more than 10
times richer than our own garbage collector. It's better to be a Nurse
in the US, than being a Doctor in Philippines...they said.
Filipino overseas are due to migration permanently or just for a
temporary working visa. Millions of people not only from Philippines
are living outside their country of birth. If they are group together
as a country, Migrant people worlwide is one of the country's most
populated nation on earth.
Globalization is also one of the top reasons why people are becoming
aware about their neighboring country, this is by studying overseas,
visiting or because to the new technology - the use of the Internet.
The top five country who welcomes immigrants are the United States,
Canada, Australia, Israel, and New Zealand. Asia is the major source
of immigrants for these countries, but Asians are also moving to it's
neighboring Asian country such as in Hongkong, Singapore, Brunei,
Saudi and others.
To become an immigrant is not easy, but If you have close relatives
from those countries it will helps you migrate easily. Immigration
policy keeps on changing, they're becoming more strict these days.
New Zealand has recently announced that they're welcoming immigrants,
and like other leading migrant nation, it's easy for you to be accepted
by them if you have a higher education and experience.
I think wherever we are, life is hard to live ...By working abroad,
you'll earn more but you need to spend more because the standard of
living is high. If you shop or pay services and taxes, it's in dollars...In
philippines, you earn less but expenses are less...jobs are less because
of our rapid growth population. That's why people are seeking chances
from other country. But actually, our bigger population has some advantages,
our government should just know how to manage it.
