i live in a third world country. if one stays here, find a job or do business, it will do. one can survive. but it will be a hand-to-mouth exixtence- what one earns is just enough to feed himself. but when one has a family, say of 4, to feed, then surely it won't be enough. one thinks of going abroad.

going abroad, say in america, japan, korea, canada, saudi arabia,etc is a good idea, one might think. one would earn satisfactorily and in dollars. not only will one survive but his family as well, and maybe, some of his kins. but it is also where the great temptation is.

the women, especially, fall prey to this one. although they do not intend to do "monkey-business", they give in, either to the peer pressure of the group, the persistence of the male, just plain loneliness to the loved ones, or a combination of these.

the folks left behind don't know what the foreign worker is going through. provided that money is coming in regularly everything is okay with them. of course, finding true love or just plain doing " monkey-business", is another story.

the male indulge in this affair, either to satisfy his biological needs, has extra money, or willing to sacrifice  that hard-earned money. the primary reason, which is to uplift the lives of those left behind, is now forgotten or being tried to forget.
