The Indonesian government has reportedly decided to suspend the deployment of domestic migrant workers to Middle Eastern countries due to rising concerns over their wellbeing and working conditions.
According to recent media reports, Indonesia plans to stop sending domestic workers to the Middle East, a significant destination for Indonesian migrant laborers. The decision reportedly stems from growing concerns over the safety and treatment of Indonesian household workers abroad. While official confirmation is awaited, these reports highlight ongoing issues faced by migrant workers, including potential abuse and harsh working environments. The Indonesian Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration has been reviewing policies to enhance the protection of overseas workers. This development is crucial for countries such as Greece where migrant workers contribute significantly to the labor market, as it reflects broader regional challenges in safeguarding labor rights and managing migrant employment effectively. The Indonesian embassy in Greece has not yet issued an official statement regarding this policy change. Monitoring of this situation continues as it may significantly affect labor migration flows and employment agreements involving Indonesian domestic workers.
