  • Title: Labor emigration and the accumulation and transfer of human capital.
    Author: Tan EA.
    Journal: Asian Pac Migr J; 1993; 2(3):303-28. PubMed ID: 12286827.
    Abstract:
    "This article examines the processes involved in the acquisition and transfer of human capital by Filipino overseas workers.... In the four major occupational groupings (seamen, production/construction workers, domestic helpers and entertainers), little homeward transmission of human capital has been identified.... Because of the high rate of unemployment in the economy, the outflow of workers has had no observable impact on domestic wage rates."
