Boredom, Hope, and Intimate Labor in Transit: Young Male Refugees and Their Intimate Relationships with Older, Local Women in Indonesia

The American Academy of Political and Social Science. 2024;709(1):145-164.Thousands of refugees transit through Indonesia, often for prolonged periods of time. With limited access to basic rights, including the right to work, some young or underage male refugees forge intimate relationships with older Indonesians. Public perception of these relationships is, for the most part, dichotomous: the refugees are seen either as moral transgressors or victims of sexual exploitation. This research explores how these intimate, age-dissimilar relationships are formed, and the consequences of the public condemnation and criminal sanctions that can follow. We show that these relationships are often more complex than a mere exchange of money for sex, and argue that they can be best understood as intimate labor. When these relationships are extended ones, they can help refugees alleviate their economic precariousness and afford a more consumerist lifestyle, and to overcome the loneliness, boredom, and hopelessness that characterize their prolonged waiting times in transit
An exploration into the environmental identities and sense of place of internationally mobile adolescents
No full textThis study considers how international relocations impact the environmental identities of mobile adolescents, popularly known as "Third Culture Kids", focusing on those residing in Hong Kong. In a mixed methods approach, the Nisbet, Zelenski, and Murphy (2008) Nature Relatedness Scale and aspects of the Raymond, Brown, and Weber (2010) Place Attachment Scale were used to survey students attending international schools. Follow-up interviews provided insight into the adolescents' experiences, feelings, and processes of identity formation and sense of place upon relocation. Findings indicate that international mobility does not negatively impact an adolescent's relationship with nature and may enhance adolescent understanding of the interconnection of global systems. Adolescents were found to incorporate several locations into their sense of place and environmental identities through an ongoing process of negotiation. This calls for the expansion of the concept of "sense of place" to be inclusive of multiple locations that form an individual's environmental identity

No full textImpact of migrant remittances on fertility and education in the source community: empirical evidence from India
No full textThis dissertation studies the impact of migrant remittances on two measures of human development- fertility and education. Remittances help recipient households to earn extra income and increase their standards of living over time. If by augmenting household income, remittances lead to an increase in the number of children in the household, the long term development impact of remittances will be undermined. Comparatively, if remittance incomes allow households to spend more on the education of each child in the household, it will be better for the migrant-sending household in terms of long term development. The two essays in this dissertation attempt to evaluate the impact of remittances on fertility and the impact of remittances on education expenditures made by remittance receiving households, and compare these outcomes with households that do not receive remittances. The dataset used for this analysis is the 64th Round of National Sample Survey conducted by the Government of India. It is seen that remittance incomes lead to a lower probability of birth in the remittance receiving household while increasing the share of education related expenditures in the household and education investments in each child, which are desirable outcomes for a developing community characterized by high population and low human capital.Ph.
