“…Studies concerning Indonesia have given various insights on the impact of remittances on household consumption and investment, gender dimension, human capital development, and poverty reduction. The notable ones include Adams and Cuecuecha (2013), Bachitiar (2011), Rahman (2010), Parinduri and Thangavelu (2011), Nahar and Arshad (2017), and Nahar et al (2018). In regards to household consumption, Indonesians receiving remittance spent more on food than what they would have spent without remittance (Adams and Cuecuecha, 2010).…”

This study examines the role of ICT as a factor in Indonesia’s financial sector development, remittances, and economic growth nexus using annual data from 1984-2017. We use the bounds testing procedure based on the Autoregressive Distributed Lag framework and the neoclassical growth model. The findings of the study reveal that ICT has indeed emerged as a significant factor in the remittance-growth nexus by playing a complementary role in financial sector development. The policy implication is that ICT needs to be supported at all levels and the financial inclusion process should be carried forward as it has all the potential to speed up economic growth and development.

“…25 The positive side of remittance plays a large role in the family economy and the social-economic cycle of the community.

The purpose of this study is to find information about the law of a wife to be a migrant worker from the perspective of fiqh. This study is qualitative research using library research and uses the fiqh approach. Data sources come from primary and secondary sources. The primary source functions as the main source, obtained by tracing the book of jurisprudence by analyzing the content (content analysis). Secondary sources function to support primary sources obtained through books, journals, and other important documents. The result is that the husband must rethink to permit wives who want to become migrant workers. Changes in Islamic law against migrant workers can occur if they meet the requirements including time, place, intention, and custom. The proof of sadd al-dhari'ah serves to inhibit the rate of sending women migrant workers.

“…Their studies implied that the effectiveness of remittances in improving household welfare is conditional on certain factors. In the case of Indonesia, Nahar and Arshad (2017) provide evidence that increases in remittances have a small effect on poverty reduction, possibly due to the low educational background of migrants, low-wage jobs, expensive remittance costs and a lack of information on how to remit their money through formal institutions.…”

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether remittance-receiving households in Indonesia have truly experienced a measurable increase in their welfare. It focuses on how social capital may enhance the efforts of Indonesia’s female migrant workers to improve their and their family’s welfare at home. Our findings confirm that social capital enhances the impact of remittances by increasing the welfare of the migrant workers and their immediate family members. Remittance-receiving households with strong and wide-ranging social capital tend to use the extra income from remittances more for investment. In turn, this generates future income, which boosts the impacts of their remittances on their overall welfare.
