Notes
The increasing volume of overseas workers provides a boost to the stability of the economy through their remittances which may be invested in industries like transportation, housing, construction, education, manufacturing, and others. Data on overseas workers also help government planners and program managers in the formulation of policies, plans, and programs for the protection of overseas workers and the promotion of their welfare.
