This study aims to analyze the impact of women's international migration on households' social and economic status after the COVID-19 pandemic in East Lombok district, as a contributing district to migrant women's labour in West Nusa Tenggara province. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis technique on 100 female former migrant worker respondents. The results showed that family social support and working conditions in the destination country significantly influenced the improvement of household economic status. In contrast, the economic motivation of migration did not directly have a significant effect. In addition, family social support and household economic status significantly affected household social status. In contrast, migration's working conditions and economic motivation were not significantly influenced. Another important finding is that household economic status is a significant mediator between migration economic motivation and household social status, but does not mediate the influence of social support or working conditions.
