Isu pekerja migran bukan hal baru, namun masih isu yang aktual, karena masih banyak terjadinya sisi negatif berupa perlakuan yang tidak manusiawi terhadap pekerja migran. Dalam lingkup ASEAN, Indonesia bukan satu-satunya negara pengirim pekerja migran, namun terdapat negara lain dengan negara tujuan yang hampir sama. Permasalahan yang dialami oleh pekerja migran dari negara-negara tersebut pada dasarnya hampir sama dengan yang dialami oleh pekerja migran dari Indonesia. Penelitian ini mengangkat permasalahan, yakni bagaimana peran ASEAN dalam melindungi pekerja migran dan bagaimana kesiapan instrumen hukum Indonesia dan negara-negara anggota ASEAN lainnya dalam melindungi pekerja migran. Dengan menggunakan metode studi tekstual, didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa peran ASEAN dalam melindungi pekerja migran telah tertuang di Piagam ASEAN yang dielaborasikan ke dalam 3 (tiga) pilar Komunitas ASEAN, namun peran tersebut tidak dapat maksimal karena tidak terciptanya konsesus dalam penyusunan instrumen perlindungan hak pekerja migran. Rekomendasi terhadap kebuntuan tersebut adalah dengan membawa dan membahasnya ke dalam pertemuan Dewan Komunitas ASEAN, karena isu tersebut merupakan isu lintas komunitas. Peran ASEAN sangat tergantung kepada upaya masing-masing negara anggota ASEAN dalam merumuskan regulasi dalam hukum nasionalnya masing-masing untuk mengimplemantasikan instrumen ASEAN terkait perlindungan pekerja migran, namun hal ini belum didukung dengan peran negara anggota ASEAN yang relatif rendah dalam komitmen perlindungan pekerja migran.<p>The issue of migrant workers is not new, but still the current issue, because there were lots of negative sides in the form of inhumane treatment of migrant workers. Within the scope of ASEAN, Indonesia is not the only sending countries of migrant workers. There were other countries whose sending its migrant workers with similar destinations with Indonesia. Problems faced by migrant workers from those countries are basically the same as experienced by Indonesian migrant workers. This research discusses the problem, namely how ASEAN’s role in protecting migrant workers and how’s Indonesia and other ASEAN member countries legal instrument readiness to protect migrant workers. By using the method of textual study, it was concluded that the role of ASEAN in the protection of migrant workers has been stated in the ASEAN Charter elaborated into three (3) pillars of the ASEAN Community, nevertheless that roles cannot be maximized for there were no consensus in creating the protection of the rights of migrant workers instruments. Recommendation to the impasse is to bring and discuss it in the ASEAN Community Council meeting, because the issue is a cross-community issue. ASEAN’s role in implementing ASEAN instrument on the protection of migrant worker is dependent upon the efforts of each ASEAN member countries in formulating regulations in their respective domestic laws. Nevertheless, their commitments to the protection of migrant workers are relatively poor.</p>

There has been a surge of recent interest in the migration industries that facilitate the movement of migrants, particularly that of low-waged laborers engaged in temporary contracts abroad. This article extends this research to include migration brokers working in destination contexts, thus drawing analytical attention to the arrival infrastructures that incorporate migrants into host societies. Based on ethnographic research involving the employment agents who recruit women migrating from Indonesia to work as migrant domestic workers in Singapore, we use the concept of “translation” as a broad theoretical metaphor to understand how brokers actively fashion knowledge between various actors, scales, interfaces, and entities. First, we argue that through the interpretation of language, brokers continually modulate meaning in the encounters between potential employers and employees at the agency shopfront, reproducing particular dynamics of power between employers and workers while coperforming the hirability of the migrant worker. Second, we show how brokers operate within the discretionary space between multiple sets of regulations in order to selectively inscribe the text of policy into migrant workers’ lives. By interrogating the process of translation and clarifying the latitude migration brokers have in shaping the working and living conditions of international labor migrants, the article contributes to the growing conceptual literature on how labor-market intermediaries contour migration markets.

This study explores the role of the body in the making of a migrant worker-band and the potential for musical production and performance activities to reshape workers’ cultural subjectivities. A framework of reflexive embodiment is used to understand how musical production and performance activities shape the cultural subjectivities of migrant workers through three bodily processes: body as text/text as body, body as instrument and body in performance. By highlighting the bodily dimension, this article seeks to broadly engage with and advance scholarship on the nexus between cultural practices and the formation of working-class subjectivity, and to specifically enrich our understanding of the migrant workers in contemporary China. This alternative musical practice is a form of ‘musical resistance’ that is not only culturally remaking working-class bodies but also providing cultural resources for the solidarity of the working-class community.

Employee voice in China remains an under-researched topic from an industrial relations perspective. We investigated the relationship between family dependents (children and elderly) and migrant worker silence, with town-fellow organizations as a moderator, based on the data of the 2014 Guangdong Migrant Workers Survey. The findings reveal that migrant workers with dependent children are more likely to keep silent when their labour rights and interests are violated at the workplace, while family responsibilities for dependent elderly family members do not have significant impacts on migrant workers’ silence. In addition, town-fellow organizations weaken the association between family responsibilities for elderly dependents and silence. Our study contributes to the existing literature on employee voice and provides evidence on the role of town-fellow organizations in China as an informal, emerging institutional actor that regulates labour relations through their involvement in dispute resolution.

This final chapter concludes the book and reflects on the findings described in the previous chapters. The chapter explains how the idealized version of graduate workers (as being a distinct labour market grouping aligned with high-skilled, high-waged employment) has not really wavered. To understand the status of graduate workers as a group we need to understand the symbolic power graduates hold within the labour market (through symbolic categorization and classification). Yet the case studies also show that the meanings of graduate work, skills, and occupations vary, leaving room for interpretation and contention. The chapter reflects on the role of higher education in the labour market, how we can improve our understanding of graduate work, and what this means for debates about skill policy and social mobility.

Abstracts:In recent decades, there has been a massive influx of Indonesian migrant workers or TKI (Tenaga Kerja Indonesia) in Malaysia, both legally and illegally. Unfortunately, both the legal and illegal migrant workers faced unofficial (sirri) marriage problems and their children. This study will analyze the legalization process for the Indonesian migrant worker marriage in Malaysia. The research was done in the region of Peninsular Malaysia, using qualitative research method. The result shows that the legalization process faced some obstacles such as; (1) Malaysian regulation which forbid marriage while under working contract for migrant workers; (2) The difficulty to fulfill the requirements for itsbat nikah (legalizing marriage) because of the distance factor to the Indonesian embassy, hard to get the leaving permit from the employer, and the strict administration for the itsbat nikah program such as the requirements of reference that the applicant has not been married yet in their place of  origin.The sirri marriage that is performed by TKI in Malaysia caused many problems such as the one regarding the status of their children’s nationality.  They can not be documented by giving them birth certificates, passport, and other documents. Also, their rights are unprotected by the law. This study will have implications on Indonesian government’s policy regarding the protection of TKI’s rights and his family.Keywords: Sirri Marriage, chidren status, Indonesian migrant workers, itsbat nikah Abstrak:Dalam beberapa dekade terakhir, telah terjadi gelombang besar pekerja migran Indonesia atau TKI (Tenaga Kerja Indonesia) di Malaysia, baik secara legal maupun ilegal. Sayangnya, baik pekerja migran legal maupun ilegal menghadapi masalah perkawinan tidak resmi (sirri) dan anak-anak mereka. Studi ini akan menganalisis proses legalisasi perkawinan pekerja migran Indonesia di Malaysia. Penelitian ini dilakukan di wilayah Semenanjung Malaysia, menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses legalisasi menghadapi beberapa kendala seperti; (1) Peraturan Malaysia yang melarang pernikahan saat berada di bawah kontrak kerja untuk pekerja migran; (2) Kesulitan untuk memenuhi persyaratan untuk itsbat nikah (melegalkan pernikahan) karena faktor jarak ke kedutaan Indonesia, sulit untuk mendapatkan izin cuti dari majikan, dan administrasi yang ketat untuk program itsbat nikah seperti persyaratan referensi bahwa pelamar belum menikah di tempat asal mereka. Pernikahan sirri yang dilakukan oleh TKI di Malaysia menyebabkan banyak masalah seperti yang menyangkut status kewarganegaraan anak-anak mereka. Mereka tidak dapat didokumentasikan dengan memberi mereka akta kelahiran, paspor, dan dokumen lainnya. Juga, hak-hak mereka tidak dilindungi oleh hukum. Studi ini akan memiliki implikasi pada kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia mengenai perlindungan hak TKI dan keluarganya.Kata kunci: Pernikahan Sirri, status anak, pekerja migran Indonesia, itsbat nikah

Nowadays, in order to meet the increasing economic needs, one of the attractive jobs for Indonesians because of their promising income is working abroad as Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI). However, due to the lack of understanding and knowledge of the community as well as several other limitations, many of the people who are interested in becoming PMI use channels that are not in accordance with the applicable administration. The presence of Non-Procedural PMI can actually endanger the safety of the person and give a bad image to other countries. Therefore, taking advantage of the Latjapura moment in 2021, the Immigration Polytechnic Cadets took the initiative to take part in socializing the prevention of Non-Procedural PMI together with the Madiun Immigration Office in Magetan Regency. With this socialization method, this activity went smoothly and resulted in an understanding to the public of the dangers of becoming a Non-Procedural PMI and the ease of making passports for PMIs through proper administration.

This article presents an attempt to define the framework and the possible guidelines for analyzing the influence of professional education on social stratification given the current conditions of social reality. The author points out that the structural changes in all social institutions (including professional education and the labor market), the fluidity and dynamism of modern social reality, and conserving a dichotomy of fluidity when speaking of the Russian context – rigidity, the expansion and inflation of professional education combined with the preservation of inequality when it comes to implementing educational trajectories – all of this makes studying the connection between social stratification, professional education and social mobility ever the more relevant. Researchers face the following acute questions: what sort of role is played by professional education in promoting or restricting an individual’s social mobility? How has the expansion and inflation of education redefined the selection and allocation of human capital? In which way does the connection change between social stratification, professional education and social mobility, what are the foundations, the sociological study tradition and the theoretical-methodological prospects for the future? In order to find answers, the author examines both traditional theoretical-methodological approaches, and ones that are new to sociology of education. The article substantiates the notion that structural-functional theory does not possess a comprehensive explanatory potential in the study of the socio-structural role of professional education in regards to social mobility. The author substantiates the following thesis from a conflict analysis standpoint: democratizing access to professional education does not mean the reduction of class inequality or the emergence of a society of equal opportunity. Within the paradigm of an activity-related approach in sociology of education, where education is viewed not just as a separate social institution, but as part of a larger system of social action and social inequality, the definitive role of motivation and proactiveness is emphasized, with them producing a positive effect when it comes to attaining higher professional status. The accelerating rate of change in society, the multidimensionality and polyvariance in implementing educational and professional trajectories in modern society indicate the need for a multidimensional evaluation of social mobility. In regards to the topic of education, and when it comes to analyzing the implementation of educational trajectories, professional education represents a vital condition and a necessary prerequisite for an individual to exercise social mobility both in terms of objective and subjective coordinates of mobility, and in regards to research methods and methodology, this demands synthesizing quantitative and qualitative research strategies, and, consequently, opens up new opportunities for interpreting results and perceiving social reality.
