Social Studies Migration

This term during lock down so far we have been learning about migration.  we have learnt about things like the push and pull factors and what different words mean that are all linked to the main topic of migration. I have been reading an article about a Filipino person that came to New Zealand to look for a job and to live you could say  more healthy life. This is what i wrote about it

That Filipino migrate to New Zealand to look for a job and new opportunities. 

They did this because while this person was living in the Philippines they were earning the equivalent of $15 a day and that was only enough to get three fast food orders and orders and it wasn't even enough to eat at a restaurant or go to the movies those being $20.  This person was also a single parent and they were not earning enough to support the both of them and that person found it heartbreaking whenever the child was begging because they were hungry. 

I got this evidence from this website that was provided with us but as it explains, they weren’t earning enough in Manila to be able to live a full healthy life, to be able to eat every day while always paying the bills. They also didn’t really get to go to fancy places because only the people with high wealth were able to go because of the cost.  Some people there had gas cookers and only very few had electric ovens and some people didn’t have electricity so that would make rough living conditions too start with.
