Manila – Institute for Labor Studies researcher Maria Isabel D. Artajo’s paper titled “‘Should I stay or should I go too?: Understanding the employment aspirations and migration trajectories of left-behind children in the Philippines,” probed into the dynamics why despite high risks and uncertainties, many Filipinos still seek overseas employment.

The research tackled how prevalent overseas migration is in the Philippines, and how such a trend has lasted more than four decades by looking into globalization and its corresponding macro-processes.
