"There are two objectives of this study. The first is to describe the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of life-time migrants from Java-Bali and Eastern Indonesia. The second is to examine the employment and education characteristics of life-time migrants from Eastern Indonesia and Java-Bali in order to identify the net effect of inter-regional migration on each area. The study uses data on life-time interprovincial migration." Data for the study are from the 1985 Indonesian Intercensal Survey.
The development of transmigration programs in Indonesia is first described, and the demographic impact of these programs is assessed. Changes in resettlement policy as a result of the experiences of earlier programs are also reviewed.
