Parenting Patterns for Children of Indonesian Migrant Workers: A Case Study of Sumber Gede Village Regulations, East Lampung

Abstract

Parents, society and the government have an obligation to fulfill children's rights with a good parenting process. This study aims to examine the pattern of parenting that is applied to the care of children of families of Indonesian migrant workers in Sumbergede Village, East Lampung Regency by describing the fulfillment of rights which refers to Article 18 of the Sumber Gede Village Regulation No. 04 of 2021. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method. The data collection technique used is interviews. There are approximately 101 people in their families who work as Indonesian Migrant Workers in Sumbergede Village. The results showed that the parenting pattern applied when referring to the village regulation number 04 of 2021 was not optimal. This is because many programs that should be running are not running. Such as collaboration with PKK or related parties regarding child care patterns. So in the end it is the family who fulfills these obligations. The role of the local government in the pattern of child care for migrant families is very necessary in order to fulfill children's rights.Keywords: Parenting, Children, Migrant Workers.
