Mayoritas perempuan di pedesaan tidak mempunyai pekerjaan yang tetap. Upah buruh di kampung sangat rendah, sementara kebutuhan hidup sangat bervariasi dan jumlahnya sangat banyak di atas penghasilan yang diperoleh. Permasalahan yang mengemuka dalam penelitian ini adalah, faktor apa sajakah yang menyebabkan perempuan di pedesaan mengambil keputusan untuk menjadi Tenaga kerja Indonesia? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan tentang: 1) latar belakang para TKI berani mendahulukan resiko untuk mendapatkan keselamatan ekonomi di kemudian hari, 2) berbagai ketidakpercayaan Indonesia Migrant Worker dalam menyikapi janji­ janji pemerintah; dan 3) posisi Indonesia migrant worker dalam Rumah Tangga setelah mereka berhasil. Metode yang digunakan yaitu penelitian kuantitatif yang ditunjang metode kualitatif. Pengisian Instrumen, pengamatan, dan wawancara dilakukan antara tanggal 1­30 September 2017 di Bakauheni, Lampung Selatan, Provinsi Lampung yang melibatkan sampel berjumlah 30 orang. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa perilaku Indonesia migrant worker memutuskan untuk menjadi Indonesia migrant worker bukan dalam rangka menghindari resiko dan mendahulukan selamat, tetapi lebih dilatarbelakangi oleh perilaku ingin mendahulukan resiko dan mengharapkan selamat secara ekonomi di kemudian hari. Mereka mempunyai ketidakpercayaan terhadap kapasitas kepala keluarga, kapasitas sumber daya ekonomi yang dimiliki, kemampuan negara dalam menyiapkan lapangan kerja, pertumbuhan ekonomi yang terjadi. Setelah mereka berhasil mereka merasa mempunyai status sosial, posisi kedudukan di masyarakat, dan posisi dalam pembuatan keputusan yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan sebelum menjadi TKI.[The majority of women in rural areas do not have a permanent job. Labor wages in the village are very low, while the necessities of life vary greatly and the amount is very high above the income earned. The problem raised in this study is, what factors cause rural women to decide to become Indonesian workers? This study aims to describe: 1) the background of migrant workers dares to prioritize the risks to obtain economic safety in the future, 2) the various distrust of Indonesian Migrant Workers in responding to the government’s promises, and 3) the position of Indonesian migrant workers in the household after they succeed. The method used is quantitative research supported by qualitative methods. The instrument filling, observation, and interview were conducted between September 1 ­ 30, 2017 at Bakauheni, Lampung Selatan, Lampung Province involving 30 people as a sample. This study concludes that the behavior of the Indonesian migrant worker decides to become an Indonesian migrant worker not in order to avoid risk and to congratulate, but more on the backdrop of risk­seeking behavior, and expects economic survival in the future. They distrust the capacity of the head of the family, the capacity of the economic resources owned, the capacity of the state to prepare for employment, and the economic growth that occurs. Once they are successful, they feel that they have higher social status, position in society, and position in decision making compared with before they become Indonesian Migrant Workers.]

The digital literacy movement is mostly centered in big cities even though internet users in rural areas are also very high. In Tracap Village, Wonosobo District, there is a community of former migrant workers who care about digital literacy. Living in a remote area does not mean that the people there are backward but it makes them more creative. This paper would like to describe the digital literacy movement carried out by former migrant workers in Wonosobo Regency, the goals to be achieved and their strategies in conducting digital literacy. The research method used in this study is qualitative. Data collection is done by in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The study found that the experience of being a migrant worker who had difficulty communicating with families in the village was the main driver for former migrant workers in Wonosobo to share their knowledge about internet use with villagers. The goal is that communication between family members continues to exist even though one of his family is abroad. The strategies carried out to provide knowledge and skills in using the internet started from subscribing to the internet which can be accessed free of charge by citizens to open internet classes for migrant workers’ children. The internet which was originally only used as a medium of communication with families abroad developed into something productive, namely to help with school or work assignments, sell online and make games.


In developing countries, agrarian crisis and lack of adequate earning from agriculture has often led to migration of labourers from villages to city. Often, these migrant workers have been absorbed in the construction and other informal sector segments of the city as daily wage labourers. Absence of any income earning opportunity from agriculture has forced these workers to move towards the city life. Such a decision has often made the migrant worker sacrifice the happiness of staying close to the family in the village. Rather, the worker has charted out the risk of coming to city with the hope of earning, sending money to home, and creating a sustainable life style for himself/herself and the family back at home. From a justice point of view, a question can be raised about which situation is better for the migrant worker: staying in a village at the backdrop of an agrarian crisis or moving out to the city, getting absorbed in the informal segment, earning money, and undergoing deprivation in the city. All these aspects impact the social, economic aspects of sustainability. In light of this, the chapter, raises these points and bridges a connection between justice, migration, agriculture, and sustainability.

This service activity aims to provide understanding and knowledge to the Bonjeruk village community and village officials about the importance of protecting PMI. The method used is the socialization of Law No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers.

Human trafficking, for the manipulation of migrant labour, is a violation of human rights. The spike in human trafficking is partly due to the rapid expansion of labour migration in the neoliberal period. The former Soviet zone has become one of the world's major human migration sections in the last decade. The article analyses the case of migration and trafficking in Tajikistan as remittances amounted to nearly half of the country's gross domestic product. In Tajikistan, lack of economic prospects, increasing poverty level, presence of blurred boundaries, leads to the cycle of illicit migration flows which resulted in human trafficking. Human trafficking is a multidimensional issue exacerbated in the countries of destination by poverty and gaps in economic openings versus unmet labour hassles and stern migration commandments. The migration of the Tajik people shortly began after the independence of the country and largely to support subsistence to the families leaving behind. Majority of these migrants prefer Russian federation as their main destination to work where corruption and human trafficking problem is huge. There are limited governing bodies to regulate recruiters' activities, so migrant workers are at the mercy of recruiters who are known to charge exorbitant fees that indebted migrant worker before arriving in their destination countries. Labour trafficking is a global humanitarian issue but there is scarcely any quantitative research on the issue. This study examined labour abuse indicators among migrant Tajik workers in the Russian Federation and the subsequent human trafficking risks with fresh vulnerabilities created by the economic crises and the covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Prenatal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is the most modifiable risk factor associated with adverse child-health outcomes. However, few longitudinal studies are implemented to compare the rates of discrepancy between self-reported (SR) and urinary cotinine (UC)-verified ETS exposure during the three trimesters of pregnancy, especially in rural areas. The objectives of this study were to assess the discrepancy between SR and UC-verified ETS exposure among rural women employing three measures throughout pregnancy, and to explore predictors related to these differences. This study used a prospective prenatal cohort consisting of 420 pregnant women whose ETS exposure was entirely evaluated by both SR and UC verification across three trimesters of pregnancy. Environmental tobacco exposure was assessed via SR verification, and was validated using the limit of detection for UC. The discrepancy rates were determined for each trimester. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the predictors associated with these differences. The discrepancy rates between SR and UC verification were 25.2%, 17.1%, and 20.5% (first, second, and third trimester, respectively). The highest inconsistency occurred in the first trimester. After adjusting for confounding factors, the following variables were found to have statistically significant associations with the discrepancy rate between SR and UC-verified ETS exposure: the number of smokers in the family and household income for all three trimesters, township site for the second and third trimester, and gravidity for the last trimester. The SR rate of ETS exposure among rural pregnant women is underreported, while the UC-verified rate is higher. More smokers in the family and gravidity may increase the risk of ETS exposure for pregnant women. Biochemical validation is warranted throughout pregnancy for the adoption of home-smoking bans and the promotion of community-based smoke-free programs.

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) 2005 is one of the foremost social security in India. It guarantees minimum wage, reduces poverty and checks large scale migration in rural India. It has reduced rural hunger. After implementation of MGNREGA, the Planning Commission estimated that the poverty among Scheduled Castes () in rural areas fell 22 percentage points- from 53.5 per cent in 2004-05 to 31.5 per cent in 2011-12. For that reason, the study focuses on income distribution and the conditions of MGNREGA workers and their households in  district of Tamil state. The sample size of this research work is 345 MGNREGA Scheduled Castes () workers. The study found that there is a significant level of association existing between the annual income of MGNREGA workers/households and their conditions, such as the participants’ gender, age, community and occupation, type of family, size of family, number of employees and migrant workers of the family in the study area.At the same time this study found that there is no significant level association existing between annual income and conditions such as education, type of houses, and marital status. Hence, the MGNREGA is one of themajor factors in determining the income level and also the conditions of the of scheduled castes workers in the study area.
