“…Pemenuhan kebutuhan seharihari dan perbaikan rumah merupakan dua penggunaan remitansi terbanyak. Beberapa hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa remitansi memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap konsumsi dan pengeluaran makanan daripada untuk investasi atau untuk membuka usaha (Hamidah, 2013;Nahar & Arshad, 2017;Dewandaru et al, 2019;Ukhtiyani & Indartono, 2020;Misdawati & Siregar, 2020;Pratikto et al, 2020). Pola yang sama juga ditemukan di negara lain.…”

The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic negatively impacts the Indonesian migrant workers since their host countries suffer from the effect of infectious diseases. A big number of Indonesian migrant workers lost their jobs which caused them unable to send money to their families at home country. This paper aims to discuss the impacts of Covid-19 on Indonesian migrant workers' welfare and their families at home country. This paper is based on analysing existing statistical data and reviewing existing literature and research publications. The results show that the direct impacts of Covid-19 on Indonesian migrant workers are layoffs for both permanent and temporary workers. Indonesian migrant workers who have been laid off have to go back to their home country. Some Indonesian migrant workers who are still working in host countries received decreasing income due to salary reduction and no additional income for their extra working hours. Such condition brings about negative impacts on Indonesian migrant workers' welfare and their families at home country, mainly because of the reduce of remittances, reaching 10.28 percent during the Covid-19 pandemic. Considering the condition of migrant workers' families who have experienced a decrease in remittances, they should be eligible for receiving any safety net from social security programs due to Covid-19 pandemic impact.

“…Hugo (2002) stated that this affects both micro and macro levels. Meanwhile, in the micro household context, migrant workers contribute to the thriving economy, such as high wages, meeting basic needs, children's education, housing, seeking venture capital, and poverty reduction (Mas'udah, 2020;Pratikto et al, 2020;Azizi, 2019;Pitoyo, 2018;Arlini et al, 2019;Todaro & Smith, 2006;Adams & Page, 2005;Haryono, 1999). The negative impact includes bad relationships with family members due to having been left for a long time (Hugo, 2002;Lam & Yeoh, 2016).…”

International migration trajectory is one of the important aspects discussed when viewing the migration culture of a region. The specific types and patterns created are unique and dependent on the length of the migration history. Therefore, this study is aimed to explain the migration history carried out by residents in Ponorogo Regency, East Java Province, and the factors that influence international migration. This is a survey research of 515 international migrants. The results showed that the migration pattern in Ponorogo Regency was divided into one, two, and three destination countries with temporal space-related cultural factors used to determine an important influence on rural households' ability to work abroad. Similar to other studies, age and gender are the two key variables related to migration trajectories in Ponorogo Regency.

“…Most articles about Indonesian migrant workers focus on how the regulations have protected their rights (Kristina, 2020) and how families have been affected by workers' travels abroad, especially their impact on financial and social life (Spitser, 2016;Anomsari, 2020). Some articles are focused on looking at the role of the social capital in that process (Pratikno et al, 2020) and how the female migrants experience more exploitation when they work in other countries (Loveband, 2007). Other research focuses more on life courses of migration (Liao & Gan, 2020).…”

Indonesian female migrant workers are a group that has over time experienced physical, psychological, and verbal violence in their jobs in foreign countries. The story presented of the struggles of this subordinated group of women remains one-sided and incomplete. The untold part of the story are the experiences they have encountered domestically from within their own country, Indonesia. This article argues that the subordinated position of Indonesian female migrant workers is initially created and strongly reinforced through the discrimination they face within specific social settings in the Indonesian context. One such social setting is at Indonesian international airports. Indonesian international airports are where the female migrant workers are positioned as “others”; rules put in place and their enforcement by airport officials and other passengers show the exclusion of female migrant workers from Indonesian society. Such positioning is an act of discrimination, exploitation, and exercise of power. This study examines what discourses are used in positioning these Indonesian female migrant workers in Soekarno Hatta International Airport, Jakarta. The authors argue, using research data and gender theories, that the positioning of Indonesian female migrant workers is a discursive act. It is committed by various individuals, particularly those (in the power system) that have the position of “we” and “us”, to preserve the social classes, which have become normalized throughout Indonesian history. The research found that the discrimination against female migrant workers is strongly connected to their social class. Although they have financial capital, their position is considered lower than other people in the airport, which creates multiple forms of discrimination, from material to symbolic discrimination and stereotypes.
