Abstract: BAES, HAIFA DENNISE D. Labor Movements of Overseas Filipino Workers from Philippines to Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Economics, major in Business Economics. College of Economics, Management, and Development Studies, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2016. Adviser: Dr. Nelia C. Cresino. This study covers the labor deployment of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) from the Philippines to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) from 1995 to 2014. The study attempted to ascertain the significant relationship of the deployment of OFWs in KSA and the macroeconomic variables such as Gross Domestic Product per capita, misery index, and remittances. Longitudinal research design was used to determine the trend in macroeconomic variables. The study used secondary data in determining the labor movements of OFWs from Philippines to KSA. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the relationship of the dependent and independent variables. Using Datta’s (2002). Push-Pull Theory of migration, the macroeconomic variables were classified as push factors or negative characteristics of the home country and pull factors or positive characteristics of the host country. The Philippines’ higher misery index and lower GDP per capita than KSA served as push factors. On the other hand, the rising remittances from KSA, low misery index (KSA), and higher GDP per capita (KSA) than the Philippines served as pull factors.
