It argues that the impact of family separation on the functionings and capabilities of the children left behind must be analyzed. This will provide the context for identifying what specific human capabilities should be safeguarded to ensure that migration benefits are sustained and vulnerabilities are mitigated.

Three valuable capability sets were identified that reflected the voices of children of OFWs. Findings from this study can serve as a guide in crafting migration and development policies that are sensitive to meeting the needs of the program participants in particular, and left-behind children by migrating parents in general. 2019-01-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://archium.ateneo.edu/dev-stud-faculty-pubs/93 https://archium.ateneo.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1095&context=dev-stud-faculty-pubs Development Studies Faculty Publications Archīum Ateneo left-behind children children of migrant workers capabilities approach resilience vulnerability Child Psychology Civic and Community Engagement Development Studies Migration Studies
