This chapter reviews social security development in Indonesia, which has evolved from providing very little in its early years, to a system that benefited only formal sector workers, to universal coverage.
This paper tries to enlarge the conceptualization of migrant workers to include all forms of human, financial and social capital. It starts with a discussion on return migration theories and considers them in the context of Indonesia. Circular migration poses a challenge as as it does not guarantee the sustainability of reintegration.
