Indonesian diaspora

The Indonesian diaspora refers to people of Indonesian origin living outside their homeland. This spread resulted from factors like migration for work, education, and escaping conflict or economic hardship. Significant Indonesian communities exist in countries such as Malaysia, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. These communities maintain cultural ties through language, traditions, and religious practices, while also integrating into their host societies. The diaspora contributes to transnational networks, economic exchange, and cultural diversity, reflecting Indonesia’s historical and contemporary global connections.
