chasing the jakartan dream
DESCRIPTION
The capitalist years moulded Jakarta into a city of systems. Despite decentralisation, villagers are still lured by the 'Jakartan Dream'. Most provide for their families, but opportunities for children in the villages are limited. Jakarta is perceived to be a city of dreams, where employment is abundant and money flows freely. But villagers arriving on one way tickets are often left to fend for themselves with no work and limited education.TRANSCRIPT
