Women in SDGs 5: An Analysis of Ex-Migrants in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to describe the shifting status of the economic role of ex-migrant
women in family economic coercion for the sake of life sustainability. The shift in the
economic behaviour of ex-migrants is the concentration of this paper, using a
qualitative approach. Primary data were obtained through interviews and
observations, while secondary data were obtained from similar articles. The findings
show that 1) ex-migrant women can manage long-term finances by applying the
concept of self-employment or micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), as
discussed in the SWOT and vensim PLE (Personal Learning Edition) analysis points;
2) recommending business trust savings. The novelty of this research lies in the
methods used, namely a combination of interviews and observations, which provide
an in-depth understanding of the shifting economic behaviour of ex-migrant women.
The implications of this study can contribute to the sustainability of ex-migrant
women's businesses by providing better insights into long-term financial strategies
that can be applied in the context of family economic duress.
