Doctoral Dissertation Research: A Comparison of the Gendered Consequences of Migration in Two Regions of Indonesia

小行星9406597 家庭经常从一个居住地迁移到另一个居住地，以寻找更好的就业机会，但很少有人注意审查妇女和男子在家庭中的不同角色如何影响他们迁移前的期望和迁移后的经历。 特别令人关切的是，妇女和男子不同的家庭角色和责任如何影响他们参与劳动力市场，影响他们的空间流动性和目的地选择，并影响他们迁移后的生活和家庭关系。 本博士论文研究项目将比较印度尼西亚两个不同地区家庭内和劳动力市场内与性别有关的移民方面。 研究地区包括半城市和农村地区。 在对每个研究地区进行长时间访问期间，将与妇女和男子进行深入访谈，并将收集和分析人种学数据，以获得有关收入水平、相对时间分配和搬迁前后其他变量的信息。 将参照人口普查和独立收集的村级数据对这些特定地点的数据进行分析，以确保当地样本代表更广泛的人口。 在这项工作的进行中，博士生将与雅加达和Ujang Pandung的印度尼西亚大学的研究人员合作。 该项目将作出一些重要贡献。 这些比较性案例研究将使人们对印度尼西亚部分地区的社会和经济变化动态有新的认识，这些地区近几十年来经历了大量的移民。 由于研究报告的结构安排严谨，该项目将有助于更全面地了解发展中国家低收入居民移徙经历中基于性别的差异。 作为博士论文研究改进奖，该奖项还将提供支持，使有前途的学生建立一个强大的独立研究生涯。

9406597 LAWSON Households frequently migrate from one residential location to another in search of better employment opportunities, but relatively little attention has been given to examining the ways that the different roles of women and men in households affect their expectations before they migrate and their experiences after they migrate. Of particular concern are the ways that different household roles and responsibilities for women and men impinge upon their participation in the labor market, influence their spatial mobility and their choice of destinations, and affect their lives and household relationships after they have moved. This doctoral dissertation research project will compare gender-related facets of migration within households and within labor markets in two different parts of Indonesia. The study areas include both semi-urban and rural areas. During lengthy visits to each study area, in-depth interviews will be conducted with both women and men and ethnographic data will be collected and analyzed in order to obtain information about income levels, relative allocations of time, and other variables before and after moves. These site-specific data will be analyzed with reference to census and independently gathered village-level data to ensure that the local samples are representative of broader populations. During the conduct of this work, the doctoral student will collaborate with researchers at Indonesian universities in Jakarta and Ujang Pandung. This project will make a number of important contributions. The comparative case studies will shed new light on the dynamics of social and economic change in parts of Indonesia that have experienced significant rates of in-migration in recent decades. Because of the careful way in which the studies are structured, the project will contribute to more general understandings of gender-based differences in the migration experience of lower- income residents in developing nations. As a doc toral dissertation research improvement award, this award also will provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong independent research career.
