Laws And Regulations

The lack of employment opportunities and intense level of job competitiveness contribute to the increasing number of job seekers in Indonesia. By the availability of opportunities to work abroad, people choose to work as migrant workers. Fact reveals many legal problems faced by migrant workers, especially those who work as domestic workers in foreign countries. This study analyzes the reasons and legal issues that cause Indonesian migrant workers to experience many violations of their rights, particularly in the pre-departure period. It discusses the rights and protection for migrant workers as stipulated in relevant laws and regulations. This research applies a normative legal method, analyzing legal documents in statutory regulations and several supporting references related to migrant workers. The results revealed that the violations of Indonesian Migrant workers’ rights occurred due to the lack of implementation of before working (pre-departure) protection. Besides, numerous migrant workers departed without going through a departure mechanism as determined in Law No. 18 of 2017 concerning the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. Therefore, it is necessary to consider revising the current laws and regulations or strengthening them through implementing regulations.

Main Factor

Indonesia is a sending country for international migrant workers, dominated by women. Most of them work as domestic workers that only require a low level of education. The economic reasons are the main factor that drives women in Indonesia to become migrant workers abroad. They find it difficult to work at home as the necessities of life continue to grow. In carrying out their work, women who are migrant workers are more vulnerable than men to various actions that violate human rights and various international agreements relating to migrant workers and employment contracts. This chapter raises the experience of Indonesian women who are migrant workers working abroad based on the feminist perspective. Some Indonesian women who are migrant workers experience violence, sexual harassment, unpaid salaries, do work that is not in accordance with the employment contract, and cannot perform worship in accordance with their religion. This chapter also highlights the consequences that Indonesian women who are migrant workers must face when leaving their families to work abroad.

Migration Industry

Despite the well-publicised risks, millions of Indonesian women labour abroad as domestic workers, where they face significant risks. By offering community education and current information on migration, Indonesian non-governmental organisations (NGOs) attempt to mitigate these risks. Yet, interviews with migrant workers and NGOs reveal that rather than seeking out migration information from government or NGO sources, women instead rely on fate and the information they receive from the middlemen who are paid to recruit women for work abroad. This paper, which is based on ten months of fieldwork in Java, focuses on the centrality of fate in women’s migration narratives. This paper examines how women’s belief in fate helps them explain their position in the migration industry and their ability to control the outcomes of their migration decisions. In addition, this paper analyses why migration authorities take up the language of fate and the challenges this presents to education and activist projects.

Skilled Migrant

Low-skilled migrant workers often pay high fees to work abroad, which reduces the remittances they can send to their families and is regressive because low-skilled workers pay more than high-skilled workers. No one knows exactly how much workers pay, justifying more data on this in order to reduce worker-paid costs. Media exposés of workers who paid a year’s foreign earnings to get a two-year contract may leave the impression that all workers pay such high fees, although the data collected from workers in diverse corridors do not support such a conclusion. Since the number of low-skilled workers often exceeds the number of jobs, worker willingness to pay can be a way of allocating scarce jobs among workers, although government efforts to limit what workers pay can drive payments underground.

Racial disparities persist throughout the employment process, with African Americans experiencing significant barriers compared to whites. This article advances the understanding of racial labor market stratification by bringing new theoretical insights and original data to bear on the ways social networks shape racial disparities in employment opportunities. We develop and articulate two pathways through which networks may perpetuate racial inequality in the labor market: network access and network returns. In the first case, African American job seekers may receive fewer job leads through their social networks than white job seekers, limiting their access to employment opportunities. In the second case, black and white job seekers may utilize their social networks at similar rates, but their networks may differ in effectiveness. Our data, with detailed information about both job applications and job offers, provide the unique ability to adjudicate between these processes. We find evidence that black and white job seekers utilize their networks at similar rates, but network-based methods are less likely to lead to job offers for African Americans. We then theoretically develop and empirically test two mechanisms that may explain these differential returns: network placement and network mobilization. We conclude by discussing the implications of these findings for scholarship on racial stratification and social networks in the job search process.

Migrant Domestic Workers

AbstractWhile the rights of domestic workers are expanding in international law, including through the adoption of the ILO Domestic Workers Convention in 2011, migrant domestic workers remain particularly vulnerable to employment-related abuse and exploitation. This article explores the intersection of the employment law and migration law regimes applicable to migrant domestic workers in the United Kingdom, France and Ireland. The article suggests that the precarious immigration status of many migrant domestic workers renders employment protections, such as they exist in each jurisdiction, largely illusory in practice for this group of workers. The labour standards contained in the Domestic Workers Convention, together with the recommendations of the UN Committee on Migrant Workers on the features of an appropriate immigration regime for migrant domestic workers, are identified as providing an alternative normative model for national regulatory frameworks.
