By examining the aspirations of young, rural Indonesian women who, unlike their parents, want to stay behind rather than migrate for work, we look at how these women's experiences of feeling left‐behind affect their quests for alternative futures. Using a household relational lens, we employ the mediating concept of enough (cukup) to analyse the aspirations of young women wishing to remain at home. By focusing on their commitment to inter‐generational continuity and care rather than a lack of choice, we are able to offset the discourses associated with the culture of migration and its accompanying remittance euphoria. Our findings showed three main reasons for their choice. First, these young women pursue remittance‐funded higher education as a counter to parental sacrifice. Second, staying allows them both to provide the hands‐on care they themselves were denied as children and to pursue meaningful local careers. Third, the idea that migration has been ‘enough’ is a rational response to the social risks with which migration confronts a family.

“让我在这个国家取得成功”：在印尼移民寄送村庄中留在落后的年轻妇女中

通过研究印度尼西亚农村青年妇女的志向，她们不像父母那样愿意留下而不是外出打工，我们看看这些妇女的落伍经历如何影响她们对另类期货的追求。使用家庭关系镜头，我们采用了足够的中介概念（cukup）分析希望留在家里的年轻女性的愿望。通过专注于他们对代际连续性和照料的承诺，而不是缺乏选择，我们能够抵消与移民文化及其伴随的汇款欣喜有关的论述。我们的发现表明了他们选择的三个主要原因。首先，这些年轻妇女追求汇款资助的高等教育，以对抗父母的牺牲。其次，留下来可以让他们俩提供自己在儿童时代就被拒绝的动手护理，并从事有意义的当地职业。第三，移民已经“足够”的想法是对移民面对家庭所面临的社会风险的理性反应。
