TL;DR: A framework of analysis is constructed that can capture the interaction between macro socio-economic process and population mobility in Java and an examination of the links between rural households, labour flows, and the housing construction industry in Bandung, West Java is attempted.
Abstract: Given the current status of studies of population mobility in Java this paper will attempt to construct a framework of analysis that can capture the interaction between macro socio-economic process and population mobility in Java. This paper thus first examines the theoretical approaches to population mobility in general. Second it critically reviews the history of the movement of people in Java. A considerable literature on Indonesia makes it possible to reconstruct the broad socio-economic processes that have been associated with Javanese mobility since colonial times. Third...this paper attempts to demonstrate the utility of such a framework of analysis through an examination of the links between rural households labour flows and the housing construction industry in Bandung West Java.
