Abstract

In the last few years, there is an increasing interest in connecting Indonesian diaspora around the world in order to assist in the national development. A recent event called “Congress of Indonesian Diaspora” held by Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN) in Jakarta has been conducted to focus on this issue. Nevertheless, there is still little known about the actual size and composition of the global Indonesian diaspora. This paper attempts to contribute to fill in this gap by analysing migration patterns and several specific demographic factors among Indonesian diaspora as part of the largest global community. The paper will also explore the potential impacts of Indonesian diaspora could play in Indonesian development.

Abstract

In 2021, the Indonesian government launched a national stunting strategy outlined in Presidential Regulation No.72. As part of this initiative, a program promoting premarital health screening for prospective brides and grooms was introduced through ELSIMIL (Elektronik Siap Nikah dan Hamil), Marriage and Pregnancy Readiness App. Despite being linked to marriage registration and targeting all couples, participation remains low in certain regions, such as Kintamani-Bali, due to cultural resistance. This study explores the underlying causes of the phenomenon using qualitative approaches (observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis) guided by Foucault's power-knowledge theory and Bourdieu's generative structuralism. Findings reveal that cultural resistance stems from the local bridal seclusion “pingit” tradition, which prohibits brides from publicly announcing wedding plans, and from beliefs that view illness/health conditions within a couple as a private matter, not a shared social concern. The study highlights the need for culturally sensitive strategies to improve the program's acceptance and effectiveness at the community level.
