Determinants of Labor Migration to International Labor Markets: A Study of Sumatra Island

This research investigates the determinants of labor migration in Sumatera Island, focusing on per capita income, provincial minimum wage, unemployment, and education level using a panel data method with quantitative analysis. The study utilizes Labor Migration as the dependent variable and Per Capita Income, Provincial Minimum Wage, Unemployment, and Education Level as the independent variables. The research focuses on provinces across Sumatra Island, including Aceh, Riau, Bengkulu, Jambi, West Sumatra, North Sumatra, Lampung, South Sumatra, Riau Islands, and Bangka Belitung. The period selected in this study is from 2017 to 2021. The panel data regression model selected for analysis is the random effect model. The estimation results reveal that provincial minimum wages significantly influence Indonesian Labor Migration, while other variables show no significant impact. This finding is further supported by the observation that even in provinces with slightly higher minimum wages, such as Riau and West Sumatra, average wages may not ensure sufficient financial stability for individuals and their families. Consequently, the allure of higher wages in the international labor market becomes a compelling factor for many workers from Sumatra Island, driving them to seek employment opportunities overseas.

Effects of Green Financing Drives on the Performance of DSE Listed Banks in Bangladesh

All commercial banks must take green financing drives to promote environment-friendly projects in their mainstream investment. Inherently, all commercial banks are encouraged to make a profit, but exploring the relationship between GF and bank performance is necessary. This article categorizes the data regarding different types of green financing such as renewable energy, alternative energy, energy efficiency, liquid waste management, recycling and manufacturing of recycling products, Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK), environment-friendly green structures, green agriculture etc. The study feeds an inclusive overview of the GF situation with a particular emphasis on renewable energy (RE), energy efficiency (EE), liquid waste management (LWM), recycling and manufacturing of recycling goods (RRG), producing environment-friendly bricks (PEFB), and green ecology friendly establishments (GEE) and its impact on bank profitability in Bangladesh. This research collects secondary data from related published articles, Bangladesh Bank annual reports, quarterly reports, sustainability reports, other commercial banks' reports, different proceedings, ADB reports, World Bank reports, and national newspaper reports from 2014 to 2023. MS-Excell-2016, with SPSS software version 25, was applied to conduct the research. According to the results of the study, GF has a significant impact on bank profitability. Regression Model 1 indicates that energy efficiency (EE) and the recycling and manufacturing of recycling goods (RRG) have the most positive impact on bank performance (ROA and ROE). Regression Model 2 found that renewable energy (RE) impacts bank performance. However, the main challenge is creating awareness among the bankers, BB, other regulators, and the community. The possible future essence of this study is to convince bankers and policy planners that GF can be the best solution for surviving in the competitive market, maximizing wealth, and improving bank profitability.
