The management of migrant workers was privatized in 1983, ostensibly because the private sector was thought to be more resilient to do the job. Consequently, there was a drastic increase in the number of migrant labor sent abroad, which was not short of mishaps, among which were: abandonment of migrant workers, cheating, holdups, sexual harassment and death. In the backdrop of such effects various suggestions on how to foster improvements, which should include among others: contracts between the workers andfirms, and the provision of insurance to the migrant workers. In addition, job seekers must be given detailed information on their rights and responsibilities and the merits and demerits of working in a certain country, and the government must make agreements with countries that are the destinations of the workers. The Ministry for labor and transmigration perhaps should increase the size of its bureaucracy to take up the roles that will be relinquished by the private sector. It is no longer debatable that government officials have shown over the last2few years that they can live to the spirit and latter of the entrepreneur, far beyond the achievements of the private sector.

The effort of providing protection for all Indonesian migrant workers abroad is focused on two categories. Firstly, the phase of pre-departure of Indonesian migrant workers in which an approach of cross sectors is carried out by both the Indonesian government and the private agencies in order to prepare them with all the things needed when they arrive at countries of their destination. Secondly is the phase of arrival and post-arrival of Indonesian migrant workers abroad. As in Malaysia, the policy on the arragenment of labor affairs either for Malaysian workers or for foreign workers is officially and legally protected in Labor Act of 1955, Industrial Relation Act of 1967, Trade Union Act of 1959, and in Compensation Act of 1952. The process of labor trials is settled through The Labor Court. This Labor Court no more handles the process of trial of illegally foreign workers. There are needs of establishing Labor Cooperation Agreement (LCA) on the ministerail level, Implementaion Agreement serving as the general policy on the executors level as well as Standardized Labor Contract which has been amended. The establishments of Labor Cooperation Agreement, Implementing Agreement and Standardized Labor Contract should occur before all workers leave Indonesia and are aimed at providing legal protection for every single Indonesian migrant worker. In order that there is no collision between the Malaysian laws and Indonesian laws, the government officials of related issues of both countries must do observations and conduct discussions without neglecting the prevail laws of each country. Any issue of labor affairs should always be referred to the laws of both countries.

Malaysia's labor shortages can be attributed to rapid industrialization; higher educational attainment leading to external and internal migration and labor shortages; and poor wages and working conditions in plantations, the construction industry and the service sector. Such shortages have been met largely through the use of illegal migrant workers from Indonesia, south Thailand and the southern Philippines. Implementation of the government's plan for economic restructuring, 1971–1990, was assisted by such workers; however, the government has also recognized the socioeconomic problems engendered by illegal migration. Policies to facilitate temporary labor migration in key sectors are being developed.

AbstractBecoming an Indonesian Migrant Worker is one solution to reduce unemployment at home. But this has instead become a new problem. This relates to the lack of protection from the government due to the lack of coordination between the government and the private sector as a party that bridges Indonesian Migrant Workers and Employers. This is because of the many problems in the Placement Agreement. This is also because the Laws that have been made by the Central Government do not immediately have new implementation rules in accordance with what was promised. The purpose of this research is to find out and analyze what sanctions will be obtained by the Indonesian Migrant Worker Placement Company if the Placement Agreement is not carried out also whether it is permissible if Indonesian Migrant Workers can work if it is not in accordance with their placement. To answer these problems, the authors use legal research with a Conceptual Approach, and Case Approach, and Case Study.Keywords: Indonesian Migrant Worker; Indonesian Migrant Worker Placement Company; Placement Company.AbstrakMenjadi Pekerja Migran Indonesia adalah salah satu solusi untuk mengurangi pengangguran di dalam negeri sendiri. Namun hal ini malah menjadi sebuah masalah baru. Hal ini berkaitan dengan perlindungan yang kurang dari pihak pemerintah karena kurangnya koordinasi antara pemerintah dengan pihak swasta sebagai pihak yang menjembatani Pekerja Migran Indonesia dengan Pemberi Kerja. Hal ini dikarenakan banyaknya masalah dalam Perjanjian Penempatan. Hal ini juga dikarenakan Undang-Undang yang sudah dibuat oleh Pemerintah Pusat tidak segera memiliki aturan pelaksanaan yang baru sesuai dengan yang diperjanjikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis sanksi apa yang akan didapatkan oleh pihak Perusahaan Penempatan Pekerja Migran Indonesia apabila Perjanjian Penempatan tidak dilaksanakan, juga apakah diperbolehkan apabila Pekerja Migran Indonesia dapat bekerja jika tidak sesuai dengan penempatannya. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan penelitian hukum dengan Pendekatan Konseptual (Conceptual Approach), dan Pendekatan Kasus (Case Approach), dan Studi Kasus (Case Study).Kata Kunci: Pekerja Migran Indonesia; Perusahaan Penempatan Pekerja Migran Indonesia; Perjanjian Penempatan.

Dependency on migrant workers is a growing situation in Malaysia particularly the ones from Indonesia, the world's largest non-skilled and semi-skilled worker importer. Despite their decision to migrate in order to obtain better livelihood, there are various risks faced by Indonesian migrant workers, including exploitation. To this day, the problems faced by women migrant workers are mostly dominated by documents forgery, fraud, overstay, unpaid wages, sexual abuse, involvement in criminal cases, and other rights violations that are not in accordance with the proper work contracts. Indonesian women migrant workers are often segmented to work in production sectors, such as manufacturing, service sectors such as domestic work and the cleaning industry. This study used qualitative research with in-depth interviews and participant observation to access, collect the preliminary data from the government officials, NGOs and unions related to migrant worker’s social welfare. The finding indicated that there were several migrant workers' rights that have been agreed upon to provide significant protection for migrant workers in destination countries whether they are related to employment or social security. However, with the different legal ratifications of specific countries, the destination country has the freedom to restrict any access to certain migrant workers' freedoms. In other words, protection is subject to the laws and constitutions of the country which have been formulated locally. However, in the case of migrant workers’ rights violations, most parties work together to resolve the issues. This includes establishing non-governmental organizations to curb issues of social inequality that help all parties involved.

This paper is the result of a literature study which is expected to be of benefit to academics, both students and lecturers, and it is also hoped that the relevant agencies can improve the quality of the departure of Indonesian migrant workers. Sometimes we neglect our duties and responsibilities, one of which is not paying attention to PMI's skills / expertise and only pursuing quota fulfillment targets. So that we need a good planning model between PMI, and a training place to improve the quality of PMI shipments in order to reduce PMI problems abroad. From the various existing literature, mapping strategies to improve the quality of migrant workers must follow the existing rules. From here it is not uncommon for the government, the private sector, or related agencies to encounter obstacles. In this study, the approach used is a qualitative approach, especially by using a systematic procedure for reviewing or assessing documents. The skills / expertise of prospective PMI need to be improved and supervision from the relevant government. In the future, we need a good planning model for training places to improve the quality of PMI shipments in order to reduce PMI problems abroad.

Pay Cuts

COVID-19 is a major global pandemic the world is reeling around. This pandemic has significantly affected the world economy due to the closedown and suspension of activities in various sectors. Though many migrant workers lost their jobs instantly, many private-sector employees still face unprecedented pay cuts even today. The only safer population is the government employees who enjoy better job security and salary assurance. However, the younger generation today prefer to work in the private sector due to various factors. In this circumstantial situation, this sample study was focused on the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the private sector employees and their attitude towards their job, the employer as well as government jobs. The study results revealed the economic unpreparedness of private-sector employees to manage the financial turbulence which humanity is facing now. Unforeseen pay cut has led to a disastrous situation in the lives of private-sector employees. And the study results also show, despite all this hardship, the private sector employees do not want to shift themselves to government jobs and cope up with the situation in their unique ways.

Subject The prospects for the Libyan economy. Significance Prior to 2011, Libya's oil and gas wealth and its proximity to Europe drew major energy companies and provided large business opportunities in other sectors. The conflict in 2011 and collapse of the government led many foreign companies to freeze their activities in the country. The political crisis and conflict since 2014 have compounded business and economic difficulties, with the rival political blocs also competing for control of public finances and national institutions and companies. Impacts Demand for migrant workers in Libya will remain steady. Infrastructure spending is unlikely to return to pre-2011 levels before 2017. Growth and investment will be concentrated in the private sector.
