本文讨论了印度尼西亚家庭与国际劳务移民之间复杂相互关系的两个方面:家庭在影响印度尼西亚劳务流动方面的作用;以及这一运动对家庭福祉、结构和功能的影响。印度尼西亚关于这一主题的研究非常有限,主要是由于大规模国际劳务移民刚刚发生、数据收集系统不完善、无证移民发生率高以及现有研究未能对家庭相关问题敏感。在快速变化的经济和社会形势下,出现了两种主要的重叠移民制度。官方系统重点关注中东(尽管其他亚洲目的地的重要性正在增加),并且以女性移民为主。无证系统的规模要大得多,主要针对马来西亚,涉及的男性多于女性,并且在某些情况下正在成为永久性的。讨论了女性移民与其家庭相关的角色、地位和经历(决策、网络、汇款),并就需要进一步研究关注的其他领域提出了建议。
This article addresses two dimensions of the complex interrelationship between the family and international labor migration in Indonesia: the role of the family in influencing labor movements out of Indonesia; and the consequences of this movement on family well-being, structure and functioning. Research on this topic in Indonesia is highly limited due mainly to the recency of large scale international labor migration, inadequate data collection systems, a high incidence of undocumented migration and failure of available research to be sensitive to family related issues. Against a rapidly changing economic and social situation, two major overlapping systems of migration have developed. The official system is focused strongly on the Middle East (although other Asian destinations are increasing in significance) and is dominated by female migrants. The undocumented system is much larger in volume, is focused upon Malaysia, involves more males than females and is becoming permanent in some cases. The role, status and experiences of women migrants in relation to their families (decision making, networks, remittances) are discussed with recommendations for other areas needing further research attention.
