They tried to find a job with a salary that can fend for himself with the family and become a labor and domestic workers.
When they are exposed to a difficulty in meeting the needs of economic development, the round akan intention to work abroad. Could not be denied that in living in this modern era, money is everything, and without money it is difficult to do something. In addition, the government program that also is one of the efforts to create employment, as it were, a good way for us to work TKW there.
However, the program should work antarnegara steadily and smoothly, considering India has experienced foreign workers to send overseas. In fact, many are procedural irregularities occurred which have been determined due to lack of government and protection of Indonesian workers. Prospective migrant workers was not uncommon in the general preface prospect of abundant material and turn aside the risk weight to work in foreign countries of different demographic and cultural. Economic factors are usually the reason for them to dare to take the risk.
Issue a dilemma. On the one hand, the prospects are very arouse foreign work, but on the other have a negative image of a very big risk. Factors that are less knowledge and economic needs of prospective TKW often utilized by the parties are not responsible. Even to this day have sinyalemen of TKW to many foreign countries through the agencies illegal.
Actually allow foreign workers have been held far longer before Indonesian independence in 1945. Up to now, allow foreign workers still in progress with all the problems that meliputinya. Procedures allow foreign workers to foreign countries at the time set by the Government through the Dutch East Indies Werving Ordonantie STB 1936 No 650 jo. STB 1938 No 388 Regulations on the Implementation of Indonesia up to implement the Employment outside Indonesia. Procedures through the regulation still apply, developed with the Regulations Menaker No. 4 Year 1970 on foreign workers recruitment.
Countries that allow foreign workers into the purpose of which is Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hong Kong, and Brunei Darussalam. Request foreign workers to foreign countries during January to April 2004 reached 83,999 persons consisting of the formal sector, or 14.81%, and the informal sector or 71,562 persons 85.19%. From this amount to the informal sector more labor required of women (83.88%), while disektor formal labor needs men and women is almost balanced. Can be said that the Indonesian workers sent overseas to the majority of female sex manifold. In other words, the labor of women is the highest number of migrant workers sent abroad. Quoted from the Directorate General PPTKLN-Depnakertrans
Delivery of foreign workers which is part of the amount of women, has brought a sizeable foreign exchange for Indonesia. They are heroes in our country economy. Program delivery directly to the state foreign exchange earnings. For instance, for example, the Government of the Province of Central Java, in 2002 for some 138,205 people with TKI Remittance of money through the bank between the work program between the countries (BE), the BNI, BRI, Bank Mandiri, Bank Niaga and Bank Bukopin added a number of PT Pos Indonesia Rp 1,497,236,878,922.00.
On the other hand, many problems appear when the labor force of Indonesia (TKI), especially women, to be sent overseas. Sexual harassment, torture by the employer, agent distributor illegal, there is no employment contract, which clearly between Indonesia and the country, even the law on foreign workers still in the process of (the law is important for the protection of migrant workers from the legal aspect). Similarly the role of government in addressing this issue have not seen the maximum.
In general, TKW have quite complicated problems. TKW's own individual factors such as inadequate skills, including understanding a foreign language, the document is incomplete, and factors that employers often do persecution. Not able to work, not paid salaries, maltreatment, sexual harassment, the employer died, the work does not comply, the employer in trouble, work accidents, sickness, the document is not complete.
