Abstract:
This talk explores the geographical and social impacts of remittance-sending behaviour and to conceptualise the sustainable development under the SWP on the lives of Timorese workers and their families. It focuses on the economic contribution of seasonal workers in the sending nation and the significance of the symbolic and socioeconomic meanings of remittances, which linked to the future development for its national strategy. The changes brought about by circular migration and its economic benefits are linked to opportunities for modernisation and sustainable development in Timorese society. As well, the future urbanisation and development, prompted by remittance’s impacts brought about migrants’ life quality improvement, is discussed alongside their socioeconomic endeavours that triggered the urbanisation process. I also therefore articulate that social mobility can be observed among migrant households through extended urbanisation process and distribution of resources in relation to the maintenance of the left-behind households’ livelihoods. Seasonal workers are the newly formed middle-class with increased purchasing power in the Dili capital to generate the economic vitality. Finally, relevant socio-geographical impacts in the extended community to map the future Timor-Leste are considered together to examine the role of sustainable development.
