Indonesia is one of the largest suppliers of informal labor in developed countries in ASEAN, Hongkong, Korea, Japan and Middle East Countries. Unlike the formal workforce that has good protection and income certainty. Workers in the non-formal sector still have vulnerabilities to get problems so there are efforts to reduce and prevent more Indonesians from becoming workers in the informal sector. One strategy is to increase the potential of migrant workers not to go abroad and to prevent ex-migrant workers from returning abroad.How to prevent good is to train the former migrant workers by sharing skills so that they can develop their business independently. The training developed is to train entrepreneurial character and practice business skills. Community service is expected to help the program. Community service activities for former migrant workers are conducted in the form of entrepreneurship training. In this activity the participants are former TKI in Sukabumi which amounted to 20 people, conducted in Cibolang Village Gunung Guruh District.

In 2016, the number of Indonesian migrant workers (TKI) are counted 3,510,000. 4,860 of them were reported complaining of violence, and there were 217 TKI reported dead in the same year. The facts and data that have been submitted, show that female Indonesian migrant workers who work in the informal sector are very vulnerable to acts of threats and other hazards. These violence and threats clearly endanger their human security. Departing from this, the author will be researching on the factors why the community chose to become TKI and how to implement human security for female migrant workers currently carried out by the Government of Indonesia. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews and literature studies. Based on the results of research conducted in the UU No. 18 Tahun 2017, it has guaranteed the safety of migrant workers, but not related to specific gender.

<p>The advantages of becoming Indonesian moslem migrant workers abroad (known as TKI) are likely under expectation. Most of the workers engage in the informal sector without proper skills. The income generated from them is marked as the second largest income after the energy sector. Ironically, most of them are regarded as becoming unavailable to access appropriately all form of worker rights. This research is qualitative research that aimed to describe and analyze the problem which relates to the circumstance of the people of Kediri who have the hight interest of working abroad at informal sector particularly, but without proper skills. The establishment of Kampung Inggris (Village for Learning English) located in Pare, the district of Kediri in East Java offers the people of Kediri many business opportunities since many visitors come to spend their money and time to learn English in Kampung Inggris. It is a highly potential circumstance that can be managed to transform a new economic sector behind the existing sectors such as the existing agricultural sector.  This research is qualitative research in the form of field research which is narrated analytically descriptively. This study attempts to capture directly how inequality occurs in Kediri people who have a strong interest in becoming an informal worker who does not have adequate skills abroad.The development of English villages in Kediri Regency is a promising business space for indigenous people and other communities around Kediri. The presence of academic tourists to study English has become a prospective economic gap. Ranging from regional tours to culinary, from lodging to bicycle sports, from laundry to stationery. A local potential that has gone international to change the agrarian economy towards a skill-based economy with various subsectors that can be developed with various variants in it.</p><p> </p><p><em>Ngaung indahnya jadi Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) memang tidak semanis yang dirasakan.

In the wake of the twinned specters of authoritarianism and antidemocratic governance that the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns in India have both exacerbated and facilitated, the author argues that scholarship on sex work deployed through a critique of labor will be pressed to rethink its analytic focus on the law. Instead, the author argues for a field-level focus built around both the everyday life of surviving sex work in the informal economy and the understanding that enforcement of the law regularly diverges from the letter of the law itself. Unless it accounts for prevailing epistemic conditions, new critical work on sex work as a labor strategy may afford opportunities to be taken up in support of reductive narratives of sex work, built around the trope of injury. The consequences of not addressing the conditions of the production of our critiques will be the continued erasure of sex workers as migrant workers and as economic agents. In the post-COVID-19 world, these critiques will be stressed even further, as the informal sector expands along with uneven policing, and as sex work continues to serve as a measure of security for some, against a backdrop of extreme and intensifying precarity.

The Impact

COVID-19’un dünya çapında yaygınlaşmasıyla birlikte ortak mağduriyet hissinin kapsamadığı temel ihtiyaç sorunlarına bakıldığında küreselleşmenin yarattığı yeni bir görünmezlik tanımı ile yüzleşiriz. Yeni görünmezlik ilkeleri makale kapsamında pandemi sürecinin açığa çıkardığı fakat kökleri küreselleşmenin ilk etaplarıyla birlikte ortaya konulan bir mülksüzleşme ve hak ve hizmetlere erişim zeminini kaybetme hattı üzerinden okunur. Buna göre tarihsel gelişimiyle beraber ele alınan bu durum yeni ve normalleşme sürecindeki bir olağanüstü hâldir. Bu hal içinde yapılan yeni kırılganlık tanımları eskiden yoğunluklu olarak sığınmacılar, kimliksiz kişiler, kayıtdışı sektörde çalışan göçmen işçiler gibi gruplar için tanımlanan hassasiyet durumlarını geçersiz kılmıştır. Bu gruplar pandemi sürecinin sağlık erişimi için talep ettiği sistemde görünür olma gerekliliğine sahip olmadıkları için, pandemi kaynaklı ekonomi ve temel kaynaklara erişim sorunlarından dolayı yaşam hakkının öteki ucunda yer almaya başlamışlardır. Makale bu süreci kamp teması üzerinden, kamp usullerinin yaygınlaşarak yeni kırılganlıklar tanımlaması ve sınırları genişlemeye açık mekânsallığının yanı sıra bir hâle dönüşmesi ile ilişkili olarak inceler.   ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH Between Two Camps: The Experience of Migration as a State of Heterotopia When the focus is shifted from the sense of suffering together under the impact of COVID-19 to the problems of accessing to the basic needs uncovered by present health measures, it becomes possible to face a new definition of invisibility created by globalization. The new principles of invisibility are analyzed in this article over the route of dispossession and loss of access to the basic rights and services appearing with the rise of globalization. According to this reading the historical development of the very situation brings a new and settling state of emergency. The new definition of vulnerability excludes the former need holders such as asylum seekers, unregistered people, migrant workers in the informal sector since they are not visible to the health system. The article analyzes this content over the leitmotiv of camp which is discussed to be rather a state than being a spatial unit with vague borders.

This study determines the mobility of informal sector migrant workers from outside Bali in Denpasar City, Bali, Indonesia including the history of mobility before arriving in Denpasar City, the mobility process, and the decision model for settling in the destination area. The research was conducted in two locations in Denpasar City, namely West Denpasar District and South Denpasar District. The research data were collected by interview using a questionnaire and sampling was done by purposive sampling. History of mobility of migrant workers before arriving in Denpasar City, had lived in other places before their current place. The previous residence was another village in one sub-district and another sub-district in Denpasar City. The most reason for the decision to do mobility is dominated by the reason for getting a job. The reason for migrants to choose to work in Denpasar City is because the salaries/wages are higher than in their home areas and it is easier to find job than in their home regions. Most of respondents waited for their first job ≤3 weeks, with the source of assistance in getting the first job dominated by assistance from family/relatives. The source of assistance in finding a place to live for the first time, partly by their ownself, and the rest are accommodated by relatives/family. Significant factors influencing migrants' decision to plan to settle in the destination are the variables of Age, working hours per day, status of home ownership, source of assistance for first-time residence, and sub-district of the respondent's residence.

Low And Middle Income

This literature review draws from academic and grey literature, published largely as institutional reports and blogs. Most information found considered global impacts on employment and the labour market with the particular impact for the very high numbers of youth, women, migrant workers, and people with disabilities who are more likely to be employed in the informal sector. There has been a high negative impact on the informal sector and for precariously employed groups. The informal labour market is largest in low and middle-income countries and engages 2 billion workers (62 percent) of the global workforce (currently around 3.3 billion). Particularly in low- and middle-income countries, hard-hit sectors have a high proportion of workers in informal employment and workers with limited access to health services and social protection. Economic contractions are particularly challenging for micro, small, and medium enterprises to weather. Reduced working hours and staff reductions both increase worker poverty and hardship. Women, migrant workers, and youth form a major part of the workforce in the informal economy since they are more likely to work in these vulnerable, low-paying informal jobs where there are few protections, and they are not reached by government support measures. Young people have been affected in two ways as many have had their education interrupted; those in work these early years of employment (with its continued important learning on the job) have been interrupted or in some cases ended.

This paper is concerned with two main issues, Indonesian women workingabroad in the informal sector, mostly as domestic workers and the potentialsof other women stakeholders in addressing issues faced by women migrantworkers. This paper is written based on the assumption that an identificationof potential women at various levels and institutions may contribute to thesearch for solutions for the problems faced by the women migrant workersand that women should be seen as active actors that may contribute to theproblem solving. The identification in this paper has been able to identify theexistence of a number of prominent women migrant workers advocates, arguefor their existence in various parts within the labour migration system toguarantee a protected migration for women labour, and suggest for thewidening of the scope and activism of these women migrant workersadvocates, in line with their movements across institutions.

Islam teaches that husbands are obliged to provide for their families. But not a few women are just working after they get married to help the family's economy. Family background that is not capable of causing people not to have higher education. Low education makes people work in the informal sector with relatively low salaries. The low salary received is not enough to meet daily needs, especially the needs of clothing and shelter. This shortage triggered the wives to work abroad with high salaries even though they worked in the informal sector. This study aims to describe the investment pattern of Indonesian female workers in Sikanco Village, Nusawungu, Cilacap District. The results of this study concluded that the informants who invest in savings are many but over time their savings are used up to meet their daily needs. The majority of female workers do not invest in deposits, only one person has ever invested in deposits. However, as time went on after returning to Indonesia, the deposit was used up because migrant workers did not have income, so they used the deposit money to sufficient needs. There are no migrant workers who invest in shares. This is because of the ignorance of the migrant workers and their families about investing in shares. The majority of informants invest in property because it is in the investment village because more investment villages are chosen. Investment in collectibles such as motorbikes and cars is quite attractive to informants because it can be used as a means of transportation. The majority of respondents invest in gold, because in addition to investing in gold can be used as jewelry. Many female workers who were respondents in this study kept foreign currency, but it ran out over time. There are no respondents who invest in bonds, because of the unknown knowledge of migrant workers and their families regarding bonds.

This research, which was conducted in Palembang and Pangkalpinang in the province of Southern Sumatra, aim at identifying the factors which influence the level if income among permanent migrants in the informal sector. The results of the study indicate that the status of the residential house which is at the same time used as the place of work, has for long, bent over employment, recruitmentof the family labor force, and the level of education is a very dominant factor in the level of income. On the other hand, the variable of the number of workers and the source of capital does not have a dominating influence on the level of income of the migrant workers in the informal sector. Abbas Effendi in this paper argues that the number of workers and the working capital do not constitute major factors in improving on the production or the output, but instead, the factor of effectiveness and efficiency in using the factors of production are crucial in improving on their output.
