Effects Of Filipino Migration

967 Words4 Pages

Our report on Migration and Filipino Family Life, Society and Culture generally talks about the social impacts of migration to the Filipino society, especially to the families of Overseas Filipino Workers. Assessing the social effects of labor migration, there appeared a lot more costs than benefits, which include incomplete families, change in parenting to the children left behind, the search of the children for role models through their parents, and the children-parent relationship. Furthermore, our topic includes the growing culture of migration of the Filipinos stating the factors that lead to such and the reasons why Filipinos choose to work abroad (generally socio-economic reasons) and would choose to stay (largely social) in the Philippines; and how Filipinos, especially the youth, perceive migration today.
Giving the overview of our topic, I can say that knowing the social effects of migration is vital because it shows the negative implications of Filipino migration that many take into consideration, and most of the time, disregard mainly for the sake of granting the socio-economic benefits to their families to secure their future.
Our report is relevant in a way that despite the many negative and incalculable social impacts of Filipino migration, some Filipinos sacrifice and still choose to work abroad to better the life condition of their families back home. This thus shows the willingness of the Filipinos to continually try to provide comfortable lives to their

  • Explain How The Cultural Turn Has Affected The Study Of Migration

    How the Cultural Turn has allowed music to be transformed into oral histories: music about migration and the borderland between the USA and Mexico from the album Border Song Introduction This essay will explain how the cultural turn has affected the study of migration through the advent of music. The cultural turn was a movement in the 1980s and 90s that changed how geography is studied (Eyerman, 2004). This has allowed for a much broader range of topics to be researched through a geographical lens, such as identity, race, gender, sexuality, and intersectionality, that take a more human-focused approach rather than just a physical one (Jacobs and Spillman, 2005).

Beyond these numbers, there remains a grim reality that faced citizens within the poverty thresholds from both nations.

    Additionally, it was not just powerful feelings of responsibility and guilt that made family separation painful for immigrant domestic workers, however it was a deprivation of the women's own needs for intimacy and support because they were doing this for their families back home and needed family encouragement to keep going. Transnational mothering is a case that illustrates the increase in the transnationalization of reproductive work that crystallizes the inhumanity of capitalist reproduction at the global level and to hide problems of the organization under a neo-liberal state. This relates to the weak welfare state and how the choice for some immigrant women to become employed as domestic workers is based on class privileges that employers take advantage of because employers hire vulnerable and underpaid immigrant workers. Arat- Koç implies the concept of precarious work of how these immigrant mothers are treated unfairly due to the rights which they are given and suffer mentally from the separation and neglect from their

  • Positive And Negative Effects Of The Great Migration

    1057 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Great Migration and/in the Congregation The Great Migration was the migration occurred within the United States between 1910 and 1970 which saw the displacement of about seven million African Americans from the southern states to those in the North, Midwest and West. The reasons that led thousands of African Americans to leave the southern states and move to the northern industrial cities were both economic and social, related to racism, job opportunities in the industrial cities and the search of better lives, the attempts to escape racism and the Jim Crow Laws that took them away the right to vote. As every social phenomena, the Great Migration had both positive and negative effects; in my opinion the Great Migration can be considered a negative development in the short and medium term, but, if we analyze the benefits brought to the African-American communities in the long term, their fight for integration has shaped the history of the United States in its progress to democracy and civil rights.
