台灣經驗對印尼返鄉移工的影響

Abstract

本研究目的在於討論在海外工作及生活多年的移工，返鄉後是否能夠將海外經驗的紅利─諸如存款與工作收入上的經濟優勢、不同文化環境所給予的價值觀刺激─帶回家鄉，以利其返鄉後的生活適應，進而深究返鄉移工個人歸國後會採取什麼樣的策略來面對經濟性適應與心理性適應的諸多挑戰。\n研究發現，爪哇傳統文化的性別規章與社會框架使得未婚女性返鄉移工所需要面對的心理性適應挑戰相較艱困。返鄉移工唯有靈活運用海外生活經驗所獲，應用在返鄉後的生存策略中，例如有意識的規劃個人職涯藍圖，或是把握原鄉的創業商機，並且能夠肯認自我價值，以調適返鄉後需要面對的心理性適應挑戰，才得以有機會克服返鄉生活適應的困難。

The purpose of this study is to focus on the repatriation life experience and their adaptive strategies of returning migrant workers. To be specific, this study is to find out how one can utilize his or her oversea working experience dividends after returning home, such as the economic advantage, and the influence of the stimulation by different cultures and values. Furthermore, to understand how one determines his or her strategies while facing economical and psychological adaption challenges.\nThe study found that the gender role and the social norms under the Javanese tradition make the psychological adaptation challenges of those single female return migrant workers more difficult. To adjust and overcome return migrant workers’ life adaption challenges, they can only flexibly utilize their oversea experience and apply to their survival strategies, such as consciously planning their career path, grasping an entrepreneurial opportunity in the local market, and recognizing their self-worth.
