Workers Without Borders: The Philippines
Episode 4 of 4
Around 10% of the population of the Philippines work abroad. What impact does it have on families and is the country over-reliant on work overseas?
Claudia Taranto travels to the Philippines where 10% of the population work overseas. She travels to the coastal town of Mabini where many citizens have gone to Italy for work. She hears from the children left behind - including 10-year-old Jen who lives with her 80-year-old grandmother. Claudia asks whether the Philippines have become over-reliant on work abroad and if there is any prospect of breaking the cycle.
