  • Title: Remittances and circulation behavior in the livelihood process: transmigrant families in South Sumatra, Indonesia.
    Author: Leinbach TR, Watkins JF.
    Journal: Econ Geogr; 1998 Jan; 74(1):45-63. PubMed ID: 12321332.
    Abstract:
    The impact of migrant remittances in Indonesia is examined using data gathered in interviews undertaken in 21 households and with village leaders participating in the transmigration program in Cinta Karya, Sumatra, Indonesia. "Our findings illustrate that remittance behavior is spatially controlled and temporally variable, as families balance their labor and capital resources among farm production, local industry and investments, and the often unpredictable nature of circulation employment and remittances. We emphasize the linked and recursive nature of elements in the livelihood process and the related importance of temporal family dynamics in decision-making strategies."
