A Review of Indonesian Emigrants
In recent years, Indonesia has undergone major economic, social and political transformations. Given the significant emigration of the Indonesian population and the recognition of the contributions of the diaspora, Indonesian authorities are seeking to better understand this pool of talent residing abroad, which has great potential to contribute to the economic and social development of Indonesia. This review provides the first comprehensive portrait of the Indonesian diaspora in OECD countries. By profiling Indonesian emigrants, this review aims to strengthen knowledge about this community and thus help to consolidate the relevance of the policies deployed by Indonesia towards its emigrants.
Recent trends in emigration from Indonesia
This chapter examines recent trends in emigration from Indonesia to the main OECD and non-OECD destination countries. In order to better understand the recent evolution in emigration flows, this chapter first traces the historical context of emigration from Indonesia, particularly since its independence from the Netherlands. Given the importance of temporary labour migration flows of Indonesian nationals to Asian and Middle Eastern countries, the chapter analyses the recent evolution and nature of these flows using available information on the placement of Indonesian migrant workers. The chapter further examines recent migration flows to the main OECD destination countries using data on residence permits issued to Indonesian nationals. Finally, the last section examines emigration intentions among the Indonesian population and the main determining factors of the desire to emigrate.
