Migration Trends and Patterns in Indonesia (2010 Census Data)
📌 Indonesia's migration mobility is relatively low, with the percentage of inter-time region migrants declining from 3.2% in 1990 to 2.4% in 2010.
🔄 This decline suggests a shift toward non-permanent mobility patterns, aligning with demographic and economic transitions where permanent migration may be substituted by increased temporary movement.
🏝️ In 2010, Java and Sulawesi were the largest net migrant-sending regions, indicated by negative net migration ratios, with Java peaking at -3.5 in 2010.

Regional Migration Dynamics
🎣 The migration flow is shifting; due to development in Central and Eastern Indonesia, the primary direction is changing from Java toward Kalimantan.
⬆️ Kalimantan Island shows consistently increasing positive net migration, indicating it is a major destination due to factors like transmigration programs, cheap land, low housing costs, and industrial development (especially in East Kalimantan).
🏙️ DKI Jakarta remains the top net recipient province for migrants, receiving nearly 74 migrants per 1,000 residents in 2010, primarily driven by job opportunities in the formal sector.

Migrant Characteristics (Age, Sex, and Marital Status)
🧑‍💼 The majority of migrants (85.50%) fall within the productive age group (15-64 years), supporting Todaro's theory that economic motives drive migration among the working population.
👨‍👩‍👧 Male migrants slightly outnumber females, with a national sex ratio of 110.28 males per 100 female migrants in 2010, although DKI Jakarta shows a lower ratio (91.56), suggesting more female migrants move there.
💍 Over half (55.31%) of migrants are currently married, with Nusa Tenggara Barat having the highest rate (67.03%), implying that migration often involves moving with family or establishing families post-migration.

Migrant Education and Employment
🎓 The highest educational attainment among migrants (aged 15+) is at the Junior/Senior High School level (SMP/SMK), with only 13.7% holding no formal education data point.
💼 92.6% of migrants aged 15+ are employed, with the service sector dominating (59.66%), followed by agriculture (15.87%) and manufacturing (5.67%).
🛠️ Two out of three employed migrants ($\approx$66.7%) work as laborers or employees, with DKI Jakarta exhibiting the highest concentration (66.11%) in this category, highlighting the attraction of formal employment.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The shift in migration flow away from Java towards resource-rich and developing regions like Kalimantan signals decentralization of economic opportunities in Indonesia.
➡️ Economic drivers are paramount, as the productive age group dominates migration, seeking employment, particularly in the service sector in major hubs like DKI Jakarta.
➡️ The relatively high proportion of migrants working as laborers/employees (65.23%) in areas like Jakarta, Riau Islands, Banten, and East Kalimantan correlates directly with industrialization and growth in the formal sector.
