Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest sending countries for migrant workers. In 2018 one of the news revealed that Indonesia was crowned as the 2nd most country in ASEAN as a sender of migrant workers after the Philippines. These migrant workers usually go to work leaving their families, especially their children. In the vulnerable BNP2TKI between 2011 and January 2018, the placement of migrant workers from Indonesia was 60% dominated by women. Not a few of them left children who were still early. The absence of parents especially mothers in early childhood growth certainly affects the development of the children who are left behind. This study will explore the perspective of a husband/father left by his wife working as a migrant worker and leaving early childhood to be cared for by his father. This research is an exploratory research with ethnographic study design that uses a qualitative approach. The main data collection techniques in this study were observation and in-depth interviews with respondents who were selected purposively. Respondents of this study are the father/husband who is the primary caregiver of their children with vulnerable children aged 4-6 years, amounting to 5-10 people. This research is expected to provide qualitative information that can be used as a basis for developing a fathers parenting intervention program, especially in Sukabumi, to then be replicated in various other regions.
