The so-called unconditional cash transfers are one of the most important political instruments for combating poverty and inequality in Southeast Asia. However, concerns have been raised in some countries in the region, including Indonesia, that such transfers could be abused by recipients, particularly migrants in urban areas. In Indonesia, urban migrants often face economic hardship, social isolation and limited access to resources. Therefore, this social group in the country is particularly vulnerable to products or services that provide immediate gratification but may have long-term negative consequences, such as alcohol, tobacco or drugs. In this context, Indonesia's diverse population and rapidly growing cities provide a unique context for examining the impact of unconditional cash transfers on migrant communities.
