Primary data were obtained through a survey conducted by the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection Agency (BP2MI) in West Java Province. The data collected represent various aspects of economics, social, demographic, and migration institutions, with mixed types of data, namely nominal, ordinal, and multinomial. The qualitative limited dependent variable (QLDV) econometric method was used to estimate the multinomial logit equation. The estimation results of the marginal effects indicate that the likelihood of PMI choosing Japan as their destination country is greater, with a magnitude of 0.8566, compared to the likelihood of choosing other countries.
