Should I stay or should I go? Analysing returnee overseas Filipino workers' reintegration measures given the COVID-19 pandemic

Jeremaiah Opiniano et al.

Summary: This paper investigates whether various forms of assistance to returnee overseas Filipino workers during the COVID-19 pandemic prompt them to stay home or return overseas. The study finds that although the Philippine government has provided multifarious economic and non-economic forms of assistance to returnee workers, the differential in earnings between local and overseas employment, coupled with income disruption caused by the pandemic, still drive them to desire returning to overseas labor migration.

The last straw? Experiences and future plans of returned migrants in the India-GCC corridor

S. Irudaya Rajan et al.

Summary: This article examines how precise information about migrants' working conditions in their destination countries affects their decision to migrate again. The study is based on household data from Kerala and Tamil Nadu from 2020-21 and focuses on return emigrants who returned during the first COVID-19 lockdowns in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using binary choice and multinomial regression models, the research finds that negative experiences in the destination country significantly reduce the likelihood of re-migration and increase the preference to work in the country of origin. The findings provide insights for shaping future migration policies in the region.
