What is it about?
The paper sought to determine if the varied forms of assistance to returnee overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) during this COVID-19 pandemic prompt them to stay home or return overseas. This mixed methods study combined a logistic regression of a large-scale survey of returnee migrant workers and a documentary analysis of efforts by the Philippines to assist returnees.

Why is it important?
As overseas work and remittances provide enduring solutions for returnees and their families to move forward from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine government’s instrumentalities may have to reconfigure the country’s overall approach to migrant reintegration.
Perspectives
Reintegration by overseas workers requires an approach that is aligned to social protection measures of their origin country.
