Abstract
This paper focuses on Filipino women labor migrants, with special focus on
their segregation in service sector as domestic workers in international
labor market. The paper is based on the data taken from publically available
official records of the Philippines government and analyzed and interpreted
by the researcher for the purpose of this paper. It is argued that women
comprise a large part (i.e. 62%) of total Filipino labor migrants during the
period of 2001 to 2009. They leave Philippine to join the international labor
market in various work sectors. But the majority of these women (i.e.
55.8%) are segregated in service work. Within service sector, the majority
of these women (i.e. 63%) are migrating as domestic workers.
