The aim of this research is to generate data on returning Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), which includes potential returning OFWs and actual returnees based on their: (1) migration experiences; (2) motivation to return; and (3) accumulated resources (financial capital, human capital and social capital). The generated data will be used in the creation of a typology of returning OFWs which will form the basis of government intervention either in the form of assistance or developmental initiatives.
