【 摘 要 】

Forced migration has a long-lasting impact on future generations. This study involves the application of logisticregression with marginal effect on data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) to find out the impact of forcedmigration on the welfare of parent and child households. The study findings show that forced migration can reduce thelikelihood of a parent household becoming poor by 7.3%. For children who follow their parents migrating, theprobability of becoming poor is also decreased by 9.82%. A decrease in household consumption of education andhealth, as well as the lack of asset ownership, can reduce human capital components. This finding shows the importanceof supporting investment in human capital and physical capital for households experiencing forced migration to avoidintergenerational transmission of poverty.
