Abstract

This article examines whether highly-skilled migrants (HSMs) have better employment prospects compared to low-skilled migrants (LSMs), highly-skilled non-migrants (HSNMs) and low-skilled non-migrants (LSNMs) during the unsettling time of the COVID-19 pandemic. This question was explored by focusing on internal migration in Indonesia utilizing the August 2020 National Labor Force Survey, which includes several pandemic-related information. The study examined employment in terms of working status, change in hours worked and change in income. The results indicate that having high skills was very important in coping with the disruptions in the labor market, regardless of the migration status. The highly-skilled migrants were the second best (after the highly-skilled non-migrants) in coping with the crisis. As this study focused on migration, future research should focus more on short-term mobility, such as commuters, who were likely to have been more disadvantaged by mobility restrictions during the pandemic.

大流行病期间高技能移民的就业情况：关注印度尼西亚的国内移民。

本文探讨了在 COVID-19 大流行的不安时期，高技能移民（HSMs）与低技能移民（LSMs）、高技能非移民（HSNMs）和低技能非移民（LSNMs）相比是否具有更好的就业前景。本研究利用 2020 年 8 月的全国劳动力调查（其中包括一些与大流行病相关的信息），重点关注印度尼西亚的国内移民情况，从而对这一问题进行了探讨。研究从工作状态、工作时间变化和收入变化等方面对就业情况进行了考察。结果表明，无论移民身份如何，拥有高技能对于应对劳动力市场的混乱非常重要。在应对危机方面，高技能移民的能力位居第二（仅次于高技能非移民）。由于本研究的重点是移民，今后的研究应更多地关注短期流动，如通勤者，他们在大流行病期间可能因流动限制而处于更加不利的地位。
