This study examines the socio-economic factors influencing the income of Bugis migrant workers employed in the oil palm plantation sector in Kembang Janggut District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. A quantitative descriptive approach was used, involving 85 migrant workers as respondents. The study analyzed several factors, including education, age, gender, employment status, wage system, working hours, and health conditions, to determine their impact on workers’ income. Data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS software. The findings show that socio-economic factors collectively have a significant effect on the income of migrant workers in the oil palm plantation sector. Individually, age, employment status, wage system, working hours, and health conditions significantly influence income levels, while education and gender do not have a significant effect. The study also found that male workers generally earn higher incomes than female workers. In addition, permanent workers receive higher earnings compared to non-permanent workers, and workers paid under a wholesale wage system tend to earn more than those receiving daily wages. Overall, the results emphasize that employment conditions and work-related factors play an important role in shaping the income of migrant plantation workers.
