Abstract

The West Nusa Tenggara region has been one of the largest sending regions for migrant workers in Indonesia for more than two decades. PMIs from NTB tend to make repeated migrations to several key regions such as Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. This repeated migration builds an interesting pattern considering that on the one hand cases in both countries are quite high, but the number of migrant workers is quite large. When associated with the study of the global political economy, this circular migration phenomenon certainly has the potential to produce fantastic remittance values. However, internal constraints and non-procedural delivery gaps are quite large as well. The control function of non-procedural PMI is increasingly limited. In addition to harming migrants in the aspect of human security, the sending of non-procedural migrant workers poses limitations for the state in protecting migrant workers abroad. This study aims to analyze the root problems in society that result in PMI choosing a non-procedural path, even though the consequences of security threats are much greater. Based on the theory of push pull factor, circular migration and migration industry, this study aims to identify the causes of PMI choosing the non-procedural path and compile non-procedural PMI delivery patterns in West Nusa Tenggara so that it becomes an illustration in policy formulation and subsequent research.
