Hello,
I am trying to identify households that have a migrant/overseas foreign worker (OFW) and I have two questions:
1) The 2013 Philippines household questionnaire has a prompt that reminds respondents to include OFW in the household roster, although nothing that indicates which members are OFW. However, OFW are unlikely to be either usual residents (i.e usually sleep and eat in the household) or have slept there the past night. Despite this, there are 0 household members who have a "no" marked for both the usual resident and slept here last night questions.
Would you be able to please clarify whether an OFW who currently works & lives abroad but still considered part of the household would be
a) considered de factor or de jure? b) considered a usual resident? c) considered a visitor if they happened to be home on vacation or between contracts?
Furthermore, it sounds like de jure members of the household are defined as people who usually eat and sleep in the household and de facto members simply describes visitors or overnight guests. This is a little different from my understanding of the terms where de jure means legal residence (i.e the home address of an OFW) and de facto means someone who usually sleeps and eats there. Could an OFW who is a legal resident of the household be considered de jure, even if they live and work abroad and did not sleep there the night before?
2) Women who are OFW are identified on the first page of the individual questionnaire by the "result of interview" question. Would it be possible to get a list of the individual id and household id of women who did not complete a survey because they are OFW? Information on women who did not complete the individual questionnaire because of OFW status is not available online.
Thank you so much,
Bernice Kuang
