Social Development and Welfare Lecturer from Fisipol UGM Dr. Hempri Suyatna is of the opinion that the emergence of the phenomenon of the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu trend reflects the critical and satire attitude of the younger generation towards the current socio-political situation in the country.
The #KaburAjaulu trend on social media contains opportunities and job expectations abroad that are wide and stimulated by those who have succeeded as Indonesian migrant workers.
"In the context of knowledge, for example there is a concern that budget efficiency will cause the future of education to be threatened, thus encouraging the younger generation to choose to go abroad, both working and studying," he said.
