<![CDATA[his study aims to explore the phenomenon of female labor migration (TKW) and its impact on the socio-economic dynamics of Pontang Village, Serang Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with a former migrant worker, field observations, and documentation from local village records. The findings reveal that the primary motivation for migration is economic pressure, such as low family income, the need to build decent housing, and to fund children's education. Financial remittances sent by migrant workers significantly improve household welfare and stimulate local economic activities. However, the research also identifies negative consequences, such as family role shifts, emotional distance between mothers and children, and increased social inequality between migrant and non-migrant families. Social tensions arise from differences in consumption patterns and living standards, which contribute to the weakening of community cohesion. Furthermore, many returning migrant workers experience challenges in reintegrating into village life due to changes in social oles and a sense of alienation. This study concludes that while female labor migration can provide economic benefits, it also creates long-term social risks if not managed properly.It recommends the need for pre-migration training, economic literacy education, and postmigration reintegration programs to ensure migration becomes a safe and sustainable pathway for rural families.]]>
