        "summary": "Jakarta remains a key destination for migrants seeking opportunities, though the influx has noticeably declined compared to previous years, with only 967 new arrivals recorded post-Eid 2026 versus over 259,000 in 2023. Provincial data attributes this trend primarily to more even economic growth across regions, alongside other unspecified factors, with most migrants hailing from West Java, Banten, Central Java, and North Sumatra. This shift highlights evolving urbanisation patterns and the decentralisation of economic prospects in Indonesia.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Jakarta\u2019s appeal as the primary destination for\nmigrants seeking their fortune remains undiminished. However, compared\nto several years ago, the urbanisation flow to the capital now appears\nless intense than before. The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, through\nthe Population and Civil Registration Office (Disdukcapil), recorded a\ndecline in the number of new migrants following Eid 2026. Head of\nDisdukcapil DKI Jakarta, Denny Wahyu Haryanto, stated that the drop in\nmigrant numbers is evident when compared to data from the last three\nyears. \u201cLooking at the trend over the last three years, there seems to\nbe a decline,\u201d Denny said when contacted on Tuesday (31\/3\/2026). Based\non preliminary data, the number of new migrants entering Jakarta from 25\nMarch to 30 March 2026 was recorded at 967 people. In 2023, the number\nof post-Eid migrants reached 259,318 people. This figure then dropped\nsharply to 16,207 people in 2024, and further decreased to 16,049 people\nin 2025, or a reduction of about 0.97 percent. Disdukcapil data shows\nthat the majority of migrants still come from Jakarta\u2019s buffer regions\nand several other provinces. In terms of provinces, the largest number\nof migrants come from West Java at 35.28 percent, followed by Banten at\n16.92 percent, Central Java at 16.33 percent, and North Sumatra at 10.85\npercent. Denny explained that there are three main factors influencing\nthe decline in the number of migrants to Jakarta. First, the\nincreasingly even economic growth in the regions.<\/p>",
