 Introduction
Overseas Filipino Workers is a term referring to Filipinos
immigrant laborers.

Ofw's work overseas due to their desire to travel and the

insufficient amount of money they earn in the Philippines to
support their family and needs.

According to a survey conducted in the Philippines

about average age of OFW’s published by Martha Jean
Sanchez is between 30 to 34.

Knowing the average age of OFW’s is to give awareness

to those people taking education that have plan to work
overseas.

The OFW’s also helping the economy of Philippines by

their sufficient contribution of monetary remittances
towards the growth of Philippines economy.
 Problem
Given that there is a pandemic occurring, does the gathered data of
age of few OFWs satisfy the last survey from 2018?

Decile – are the score points which divide a distribution into (10)
ten equal parts.
Percentile – is the score points which divide a distribution into
(100) one hundred equal parts.

Conclusion

Based from the results from the D3, there are 30% of the
Overseas Filipino Workers who have an age of 36 years old and
below while 70% remaining are exact 37 years old and higher.

In P85, 85% of the results showed that there are OFWs who still
work at the age of 52 years old and below while the remaining 15%
are those 53 years old and higher.

Therefore, the gathered data still satisfy the survey from 2018.
However, this does not represent all the OFW population, the data
we gathered are limited only to 100 respondents.

Recommendation

The Government should do something to make the work

of OFWs easier just like reducing the amount of People
working overseas is to make the minimum wage more than
the current rate. Most OFW jobs are not stable financially and
sometimes they are even fooled by the agency. Most of them
too are ranges aged 30 to 49 years old. OFW's is a big help for
our country, it improved living conditions and more
disposable income, the consumption of goods and services
increases, which drives the economy forward but also it can
be have negative effect on the Philippines like lacking of
workers.
