The negative impact of the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) has been felt by the downstream textile product and textile (TPT) industries in Desa Solokanjeruk, Kabupaten Bandung, especially the export-oriented garment industry. This industry has experienced a downturn in orders and difficulty in obtaining new orders, but has not reduced the number of workers.
The community group in Desa Arjowilangun most affected by the impact of the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) is the families of male migrant workers (TKI) employed in the export-oriented manufacturing industry in South Korea.
Information collected from various local and national media sources shows that the 2008/09 global financial crisis has had an impact on several agricultural subsectors in Indonesia, especially on export commodities.
The findings of news monitoring in a number of mass media up to the beginning of August 2009 reveal that the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) has had an impact on manufacturing in Indonesia, particularly on those manufacturing industries that are export-oriented and use imported raw materials.
During the first visit in September 2009, there were indications that the people most affected by the 2008/09 global financial crisis (GFC) were the Indonesian migrant workers working in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). This second visit was undertaken to confirm the findings of the first visit. The research was, therefore, focused on the migrant workers who had just returned from Korea as well as their families.
