I think saying they gain working experience is a bit useless.
Really what they gain is money. money they send home, money they use to put there kids in school with. Basically forgoing consumption now for future use (is this case, by their children)
It's not a single generation thing they're looking at, it's multigenerational. We experienced it ourselves, with the whole, giving my kids things I didn't have and such. (my grandmother dropping out of school at 14 to work for an example)
