Hi, I would like to request the microdata of departing oversea Filipino workers from the earliest to the latest possible. From the replication dataset of an article written by McKenzie, Theoharides, and Yang in 2013, I learned that the Planing department of POEA has the database of departing Oversea Filipino Workers (OFWs) containing the information of gender, civil status, destination, employer, recruitment agency, contract duration, occupation, date deployed, and salary of each worker. It would be really helpful if the data is available here upon request. Thank you!
