In the paper today, Jeff discovered a report on a world-wide Gallup study that interviewed people about migration - if you could move, would you? Both of our home countries were part of the study, and we thought you would find it interesting to see how the countries compared.
Canada was the top 4th country for more people who would move in than move out, with a score of +160%. The Philippines has a score of -22%, which means if there were no obstacles for people here, one in four adults would emigrate out of the Philippines to another country. Imagine the effect of 25% of the working population leaving.
Now take a few moments to contemplate what things must be like for so many people in the Philippines that would cause so many to want to leave if they could. Now reflect on how things are in Canada, how little you have to really complain about and how fortunate you are...and give thanks. Now mull over what you can do about this difference, and do something.
