Sisällön kuvaus

The study examined the experiences of Overseas Filipino Workers recruited to Finland through employment or study routes. It is part of the project commissioned by Work in Finland to overview of the labour recruitment ecosystem in the Philippines.

The survey explored the nature of recruitment and whether respondents had come to Finland to work or study. They reported their current field of employment, the match between their work and education, their educational background, and any additional training completed in Finland. The study also examined whether respondents sent money to their families in the Philippines and whether they intended to remain in Finland permanently.

In relation to the period before their recruitment process began, respondents described how they had first learned about opportunities in Finland, what had motivated them to pursue employment, how familiar and prepared they had been for Finnish working life and relocation, and how actively they had searched for information. They also indicated how easy it had been to access information and which factors had influenced their choice of recruitment path.

Regarding the period of their recruitment process, respondents described which type of agency or employer had handled their application and outlined both positive aspects and challenges they had experienced. They reported on communication, documentation, legal procedures, financial costs, support received, and the clarity of job descriptions and salary information. They also noted any experiences of discrimination, the expenses incurred, and whether they had been required to take Finnish language training.

In connection with the post-recruitment process, respondents assessed their sense of belonging in their work community and identified what information or support would have better prepared them for Finnish working life. They also highlighted changes they considered necessary in the recruitment process and provided reflections on family reunification and ethical recruitment..

Background variables included the respndent's age, gender, civil status, length of stay in Finland and number of children.
