| Summary: | This study takes a look at returning OFWs (Overseas Filipino Workers) from
labor migration and their overall communication with their left-behind spouses. Aside
from the migrant spouse’s return, the study also takes a look at how the shift from
mediated to face-to-face communication becomes a factor that affects the relationship
between the spouses.
This study also investigates labor migration in the Philippines, how labor
migration affects power relations between spouses, and the role of a migrating parent to
a child. The lack in studies focusing on the interpersonal communication between a
returning migrant spouse and left-behind spouse is addressed. More importantly, this
study looks at how interpersonal communication is affected by the mediated
communication of spouses prior to the return of the migrating spouse. |
