Abstract

Recently cross-border migration of people from Timor Leste to Indonesia cannot be dammed, but data regarding the influence of social demographic factor on this phenomenon have not been adequately described yet. This research examines the influence of social demographic factors on individual decision to cross-border migration from Timor Leste to Indonesia. It used quantitative method to analyse causal correlation between social demographic factors and individual decision to cross-border migration from Timor Leste to Indonesia. The research respondents amounted to 165 including Timor Leste migrants, and immigration and security official in the cross-border areas of Timor Leste and Indonesia. Data obtained from questionnaires then were analysed through descriptive statistic, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression techniques. This research found that social demographic factors including age, sex, marital status, religion, education, job, residency status, and social relation have no correlation and influence on individual decision to cross-border migration from Timor Leste to Indonesia. Cross-border migration of people from Timor Leste to Indonesia, especially in West Timor is mostly because of geographical closeness, social/family visit, study continuation and trade.
