N2  - The reintegration of female migrant workers into Indonesia is a complex process  influenced by economic, social, and psychological challenges. This study aims to  analyze these challenges, identify factors influencing reintegration, and evaluate the  effectiveness of government programs in supporting female migrant workers returning  to Tulungagung District. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study  design, involving 30 female migrant workers as participants. Data was collected  through in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, and document analysis, then  analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that the  majority of respondents experienced a decrease in income of more than 70% after  returning, which had an impact on economic instability, social subordination, double  workloads, and psychological pressure. Although remittances during migration  temporarily improved women's social status, these changes were temporary and easily  reversed after return. An evaluation of government programs such as Desmigratif and  BP2MI Social Rehabilitation Program shows that these programs have not fully  strengthened women's social status because they still focus on economic interventions  without targeting gender-based social norm transformation. By adopting a  multidimensional approach, this study fills a gap in the literature, which has previously  been partial. The findings emphasize the need for gender-responsive, integrative  reintegration programmed design that considers the social and psychosocial needs of  female migrant workers to achieve sustainable reintegration.
