Wages that much greater than in the village has caused some of the people migrated out of the village to find a more worthy life. They went to the big cities nearby, and also went overseas to become migrant workers, or Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI). Number of remittance sent home by migrant workers of Subang in 2006 is estimated to reach nearly Rp. 650 billion, sent through formal banking services as much as Rp. 350 billion and the rest through informal channels. But this money in fact does not provide a meaningful impact in some places of origin, so this things attracted the local government in which researchers work, to know the behavior of migrants in the family in using the surplus. Results of research shows that most of the remittance consumed for the needs of daily living, home improvement, buying a motorcycle, etc. Allocation of remittance like this caused the money did not revolve back into a sustainable production capacity. There are several caused factors. First is the internal factors in the migrant workers themselves and their families such as the attributes of the family, perceptions of remittance, psychological factors such as motivation, age and life cycle and the lack of enterpreneurship knowledge. Then there are external factors such as the absence of the local market in the village, the absence of effective demand and weak leadership at the village level. Last factor is the near location of the three villages with the urban areas and a good transportation routes, so that contact with urban areas is quite intense, which in turn affect consumption patterns of TKI.
