Abstract
This thesis aims to determine the allocation of the use of female labor remittance toward the level of community welfare, and find out which types of allocation which have an impact on people's welfare. This study uses two analytical methods, namely qualitative analysis with descriptive approach and the process of hierarchy analysis by collecting data through interview. The research objects are 50 people who are former migrant workers or migrant workers' families selected by Convenience sampling method. The second object is 15 experts, namely academics who understand the concept of welfare, and are determined by purposive sampling. The research location is in Jorok Village, Utan District, Sumbawa Regency. Based on the analysis of data, the results of this research show that there are two types of remittance usage, namely consumptive and productive. For the productive use, female migrant workers allocate remittance funds for education, buying land, livestock and business. Meanwhile, the examples of consumptive use are fulfillment of daily necessities, vehicles, paying debts and renovating house. When comparing each criterion of productive use, buying land has the biggest influence on migrant workers in spending their remittance and it is long-term. For consumptive use, daily necessities have the biggest impact on the welfare of migrant workers in the short-term.
