The Impact

We aimed to examine the available evidence on the impact of overseas parental migration on healthcare seeking for common childhood illnesses and the nutritional status of children left-behind under five years of age. A systematic review of English language articles was conducted on PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE, supplemented by a manual search of grey literature and reference lists. There were no studies examining the association between overseas parental migration and healthcare seeking for common childhood illnesses. We found three cross-sectional surveys examining the association with an indicator of nutritional status. We observed mixed findings from the available studies. The results indicated that children left-behind may have positive, negative or null effects on their nutritional status. There was insufficient information available to draw conclusions on the magnitude and direction of the association between overseas parental migration and its effect on either healthcare seeking for common childhood illnesses or the nutritional status of left-behind children. The association, if any, may be context or country dependent. Prospective studies are needed to address this important knowledge gap.

Migration Flows

There are evidence of growing Indonesian labour migration flows overseas. This involves at least two other important issues. The first one is the increase of undocumented (illegal) international migration from Indonesia, mostly to neighboring countries. Second, feminization of labour migration is also expected to grow to responses consequences on both macro and micro level. Many of them have been well addressed in research, but still left some important issues, such as trafficking and children left behind. Several researches have been conducted in there two subjects, but still limited. In fact they are very important in developing a more sound policies to alleviate the negative impact of international labour migration.

This paper considers how international migration of the head of household affects the allocation of resources toward boys relative to girls within households remaining in the home country. I address the endogeneity of migration with a differences-in-differences style regression model that compares those households in which migrants have already returned home with those in which migrants are still away. The evidence suggests that while the head of household is away a greater fraction of resources are spent on girls relative to boys, but upon his return, this pattern is reversed.
