QUO VADIS PENGIRIMAN TKI KE MALAYSIA

Abstract Indonesia is a major sending country of overseas migrant labour in Southeast Asia. Indonesia’s large unofficial migrant labour flows are a direct result of poor economic opportunities for working-class Indonesians within the country itself. Indonesia has a surplus of labour which is unable to accommodate a large percentage of its working age population. As a result, overseas labour migration has become an important avenue for employment of Indonesian citizens.Most of the migrant labors didn’t have skill and qualified education so it can explain why formal sector employment overall accounts for a relatively small proportion of all employment opportunities. Also explain that the Indonesian migrant labors who are constantly threatened with the violation of their human rights in the country where they will work. Indonesia government have tried to make a negosiation with the government of Malaysia to solve this problem. But, the government of Malaysia often deny that agreement and has not yet of law enforcement. For instance when people or Royal Army make a violence toward migrant labor, the government can’t punish the suspect according what have done. That can be showed that the bargaining position and power of Indonesia government can’t able to urged the government of Malaysia to pay more attention about migrant labors.
