Migration is a phenomenon that has come to stay. It cuts across all nations in the world. People migrate for different purposes such as education, marriage, labour, job opportunity or employment and shelter for refugees. Migration occurs through various mediums which could be self, family members, friends, or other intermediaries such as brokers. This research applied the pure library-based research method to highlight the activities of brokers in migration in Asia and examine the ordeals of women victims in cross-border migration. It was discovered that activities of these illegal brokers, that is also known as syndicates, are not different from human trafficking. The women victims, whose desires are to change their status, soon got trapped in uncertainty with shattered dreams, hence the suggestion that Asian countries enter into bilateral agreement to enable favourable and a less strict migration procedures for their member states. In addition, the contracting states should enact strict legislation to curb syndicate marriage and check the accesses of these illegal brokers.   Received: 13 October 2021 / Accepted: 21 November 2021 / Published: 3 January 2022

While implementing economic and political reforms to develop society and the economy since 1986, Vietnam has faced serious challenges to national security and social order associated with the complexities of transnational crimes (e.g., illegal drugs, human trafficking, green crimes and high-tech crimes). Additionally, as an uncharted territory in the field of criminology and policing, overall assessment of these crimes in Vietnam is still absent. Lack of knowledge and background on transnational crimes in Vietnam is considered one of the barriers to full understanding of the nature of cross-border criminals in comparison to other South-East Asian countries. This study analyses specific characteristics and modus operandi of transnational crimes in Vietnam by examining these particularly severe crimes. Findings show there are sophisticated cunning associated with flexible activities to avoid law enforcement monitors. Findings call for further research to inform policymakers and scholars.

The Government

The world was shocked by an outbreak in East Asian countries, precisely in China, Wuhan, Hubei Province, last December 2019. This outbreak is known as Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), which attacks the respiratory tract and leads to death. This COVID-19 has hit worldwide, including Indonesia and has spread to all provinces, including the province of Aceh. The Aceh government has imposed restrictions on activities at night to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. However, polemics have emerged from the community about this policy. The purpose of writing this article is to analyze the implementation of the Curfew as a policy of the Aceh government towards dealing with COVID-19 and the obstacles to its implementation. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data sources are obtained from journals and the latest news about COVID-19—the data analysis technique used Nvivo plus 12 analysis. The results showed that the curfew policy in Aceh could not be fully implemented properly due to the pros and cons of the community, even though the government had taken its social responsibility in society. Thus, the policy must be thoroughly considered for the sake of the survival and welfare of the community, especially for those from the lower-middle economic class.

Trafficking Victims

Actualmente, el fenómeno de la trata de personas tensiona los países del mundo a dirigir sus políticas hacia esta forma de esclavitud moderna, enfatizando la detección, prevención, reparación y protección de las víctimas. En Chile, los escasos estudios existentes respecto a la trata de personas se limitan a las variables descriptivas y geográficas de la caracterización del delito, sin tener en cuenta las variables de acceso, atención y tratamientos de salud en profundidad. Este estudio pretende conocer y describir las características sociodemográficas y el estado de salud de las víctimas de trata de personas en Chile, entre 2012 y el primer semestre de 2017, mediante los ingresos formales a la única casa de protección en Chile. El estudio es cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo y de corte transversal de los registros de las víctimas. Las participantes fueron 43 mujeres víctimas de trata, de 32 años de media y con uno/a o más hijos/ as. Se constata un multidiagnóstico de las víctimas, debido a la cantidad de enfermedades y programas de salud a los que ingresan. Por último, se evidencia una falta de protocolo entre la casa de protección y el sistema de salud, el cual es de vital importancia para definir la calidad de salud de las víctimas de trata de personas. Nowadays, the phenomenon of human trafficking is pressuring countries around the world to direct policies towards this form of modern slavery, emphasizing the detection, prevention, reparation and protection of victims. In Chile, the few existing studies about human trafficking are limited to the descriptive and geographical variables of the crime characterization, without taking into account the variables of access, care and health treatments. This study pretends to know and describe the sociodemographic characteristics and health status of human trafficking victims in Chile, between 2012 and the first half of 2017, considering only the registered admissions into the only human trafficking protection home in Chile. The study is quantitative of a descriptive and cross-sectional nature of the victims’ records. The participants were 43 women victims of trafficking, 32 years old on average and with one or more children. A multidiagnosis of the victims is identified due to the number of diseases and health programs they register into. Finally, there is evidence of a lack of protocol between the protection home and the health system, which is of vital importance to determine the health of the human trafficking victims.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.

The Philippines is one of only two states in the world in which absolute divorce remains largely impossible. Through its family laws, it regulates the marriage, family life and conjugal separation of its citizens, including its migrants abroad. To find out how these family laws interact with those in the receiving country of Filipino migrants and shape their lives, the present paper examines the case of Filipino women who experienced or are undergoing divorce in the Netherlands. Drawing from semi-structured interviews and an analysis of selected divorce stories, it unveils the intertwined institutions of marriage and of divorce, the constraints but also possibilities that interacting legal norms bring in the life of Filipino women, and the way these migrants navigate such norms within their transnational social spaces. These findings contribute interesting insights into cross-border divorces in the present age of global migration.

For nearly three decades, English has been the lingua franca of cross-border business, yet studies on global language strategies have been scarce. Providing a rare behind-the-scenes look at the high-tech giant Rakuten in the five years following its English mandate, this book explores how language shapes the ways in which employees in global organizations communicate and negotiate linguistic and cultural differences. Drawing on 650 interviews conducted across Rakuten's locations around the world, the book argues that an organization's lingua franca is the catalyst by which all employees become some kind of “expat”—detached from their native tongue or culture. Demonstrating that language can serve as the conduit for an unfamiliar culture, often in unexpected ways, the book uncovers how all organizations might integrate language effectively to tap into the promise of globalization.

The biggest challenge faced by students nowadays and in the future, is how to deal with the increasingly high competition in the world, the increasing number of undergraduate and limited job opportunities. In this kind of situations, the students had to find a creative way and change the approach of being a university graduate looking for a job, to become scholars who can create their own jobs, or even able to create jobs for others. The purpose of this study was to determine the youth interest on entrepreneurship in Indonesia. It seems that the youth are unaware to see that the job is increasingly difficult to find nowadays. So through this study, researchers wanted to find out what causes youth in Indonesia, reluctant to become an entrepreneur. While being an entrepreneur, the youth can open or create jobs for others and can reduce the level of unemployment in Indonesia. Self-confidence is an important factor in entrepreneurship. Family environment and quality education also participate in creating interest for youth in entrepreneurship. This research is using basic research method; where researchers will try to link the theories of the existing variables. Thus, researchers can conduct research by distributing questionnaires to the youth throughout Indonesia. This study aims to determine the cause of Indonesian youth lack of interest in entrepreneurship.
