Highlights
The children of migrants either moved to cities with their parents or stayed behind in villages, cared for by their grandparents or relatives
The long-term health status of these children was not as good as that of urban children, even worse than that of rural children whose parents did not move to cities
As there is no household registration system in Indonesia, rural migrants, who moved to cities and resided there for more than one year, would be considered urban residents
Summary
The children of migrants either moved to cities with their parents or stayed behind in villages, cared for by their grandparents or relatives.
