Leaving A Legacy: Parental Migration and School Outcomes Among Young Children in the Philippines
Leaving a Legacy: Parental Migration and School Outcomes among Young Children in the Philippines
Asis, M.B., Ruiz-Marave C.
This article examines the link between parental migration and young children's education using data from the Philippine country study of the Child Health and Migrant Parents in South-East Asia (CHAMPSEA) Project. The key research question probed here is: what difference does parental migration make to the school outcomes of young children? Specifically, it looks at factors that explain children's school progression (school pacing) and academic performance (school achievement) using multiple regression analysis. These questions are explored using CHAMPSEA data gathered from a survey of children under 12 years of age and their households in Laguna and Batangas (n=487).
