Increase of Nurses Minimum Pay in the Philippines
Increase of Nurses Minimum Pay in the Philippines
The Issue
The Philippines has been told that it has become one of the biggest supplier of Nurses worldwide. Registered Nurses make up the largest segment of a country’s health workforce. Without increasing wages in the country, many of them opt to migrate and settle for a job abroad since they seem to earn as much as 20 times what they make back home. If this persists, the country may unsurprisingly experience a shortage in its educated workers who have been overworked, underpaid in their country for a very long time.
