Abstract

First migration is an important milestone that signals the beginning of one’s migration career. Variations in the timing of the first migration signify critical contextual factors that shape individuals' life trajectories, including their educational pathways. This study aimed to examine the variations in the age at first migration of young Indonesians by their educational attainment. This study analyzed data from the migration and education modules from all waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey. Survival analysis approaches were used to estimate the probability of first migration among the 2,075 observations during young adulthood. This study found that people with low levels of education migrate for the first time at younger ages, possibly after terminating their schooling. Meanwhile, education-related motives are critical in explaining the high migration propensity around the age of 18–19 years by the tertiary-educated group. Despite the varying intensities, the relationships between education and migration were consistent across cohorts. These findings suggest that positive and negative educational selectivity were observable in the age schedule of the first migration of young adult Indonesians.

印度尼西亚青年首次移民的年龄和受教育程度

首次移民是一个重要的里程碑，标志着个人移民生涯的开始。首次移民时间的变化意味着影响个人生活轨迹（包括教育途径）的关键背景因素。本研究旨在探讨印尼年轻人首次移民年龄的差异，并根据其教育程度进行分析。本研究分析了印尼家庭生活调查所有波次中移民和教育模块的数据。研究采用生存分析方法估算了 2,075 名观察对象在青年时期首次移民的概率。研究发现，受教育程度低的人首次移民的年龄较小，可能是在结束学业之后。同时，与教育相关的动机对于解释高等教育群体在 18-19 岁左右的高移民倾向至关重要。尽管受教育程度不同，但教育与移民之间的关系在不同组群中是一致的。这些研究结果表明，在印度尼西亚青年首次移民的年龄安排中，可以观察到积极和消极的教育选择性。

期刊介绍： Journal of Population and Social Studies (JPSS) is an open access peer-reviewed journal that is published by the Institute for Population and Social Research, Mahidol University. Journal of Population and Social Studies (JPSS) has ceased its hard copy publication in 2013, became an online only journal since 2014 and currently publishes 4 issues per year. Yet, Journal of Population and Social Studies (JPSS) continues to be a free* of charge journal for publication. Journal of Population and Social Studies (JPSS) welcomes contributions from the fields of demography, population studies and other related disciplines including health sciences, sociology, anthropology, population economics, population geography, human ecology, political science, statistics, and methodological issues. The subjects of articles range from population and family changes, population ageing, sexuality, gender, reproductive health, population and environment, population and health, migration, urbanization and Labour, determinants and consequences of population changes to social and behavioral aspects of population. Our aim is to provide a platform for the researchers, academicians, professional, practitioners and graduate students from all around the world to share knowledge on the empirical and theoretical research papers, case studies, literature reviews and book reviews that are of interest to the academic community, policy-makers and practitioners.
