Abstract

This article discusses efforts to empower women former migrant workers through an approach based on social capital and local economic potential. This research aims to identify effective empowerment strategies for women who have returned from working abroad, by utilizing their social networks and the economic resources available in their areas of origin. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through in-depth interviews, participatory observation and documentation. The research results show that social capital, such as individual and community networks, trust, and social norms, plays an important role in facilitating the process of reintegration and economic empowerment. In addition, utilizing local economic potential, such as micro and small businesses, agriculture and handicrafts, has been proven to make a significant contribution in improving the welfare and economic independence of women who are post-migrant workers. This article concludes that integrating social capital with local economic potential is an effective and sustainable strategy for empowering women as migrant workers.

Abstract

This research explores the empowerment process for women former migrant workers through community-based education in the Desa Peduli Buruh Migran (DESBUMI) community in Jember Regency, Indonesia. It aims to examine community-based empowerment concepts and strategies to inform policies supporting women former migrant workers. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, followed by analysis through data reduction, presentation, and verification. The findings outline three empowerment stages: awareness, capacity building, and empowerment. In capacity building, an experiential learning cycle is used, tailored to the potential and needs of these women. Community interactions foster collective learning and mutual support, enhancing knowledge, skills, participation, and economic independence among former migrant workers. Additionally, the DESBUMI community provides a strategic platform for promoting local economic development. The research concludes that community-based education effectively strengthens both individual capacity and social networks, suggesting this model as a viable framework for empowering women in similar migrant worker communities across Indonesia.
