“少母村”是如何产生的?

In eastern Indonesia there are areas where almost all young mothers have gone to work abroad. Indonesians refer to these communities as the "motherless villages".

在印度东部地区,当地几乎所有年轻的母亲们都去国外工作了。印尼当地人称这些地区为“少母村”。

Millions of Indonesian women have left their families behind to work abroad. The East Lombok district exports the most people.

几百万的印尼女性离开了他们的家庭,出国工作。印尼东部一个叫龙目岛(Lombok)的地区,是劳动力输出重地。

Most of the men here work as farmers or labourers, earning a fraction of what the women can make as domestic workers or nannies overseas.

龙目岛的男人们很多都在务农,或是干些体力活。他们赚的钱远比不上当地的女人。这些女人在国外做家政或是保姆的工作。
