Abstract:

This paper focuses on the institutionalization of labor export and the state’s response to the market failure in higher education. It argues that the Philippine state built the labor export industry as it sought to appease the interests of the business elites who owned many of the private higher educational institutions while creating jobs to ease the political pressures coming from the educated unemployed. The Marcos regime passed the 1974 Labor Export Policy and established the Overseas Employment Development Board in order to alleviate these pressures. The Philippine state not only became active in creating the labor export industry, but it also expanded its capacity in education by developing more public universities and vocational schools that would produce graduates who would be absorbed into the domestic labor market. As labor export grew, business interests in private overseas recruitment agencies, the remittances industry, households, and the government became dependent on the foreign exchange from migrant remittances for their financial survival.
