Indonesian authorities have increased monitoring of their migrant workers in the Middle East to ensure better protection and compliance with labor regulations.
Jakarta — The Indonesian government is intensifying its supervision of migrant workers in the Middle East, following concerns about their welfare and working conditions. This move aims to improve the safety and rights of Indonesian overseas workers, including those employed in countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
While the official statement from Indonesia’s Ministry of Manpower highlights the commitment to safeguard migrant workers through strengthened bilateral cooperation and improved monitoring systems, some reports have noted challenges faced by workers, including contractual disputes and workplace mistreatment. The ministry encourages migrant workers and their families to report any grievances through established official channels.
Although the recent announcement concentrated on the Middle East, this development is relevant for Indonesian migrant workers in other regions, including Greece, where a growing number of Indonesians work in domestic and service sectors. Embassy officials continue to provide support and information for Indonesians abroad to ensure their protection and compliance with host country laws.
The Indonesian government collaborates closely with foreign embassies and international organizations to promote fair labor practices and to address issues promptly when they arise. Ongoing efforts also include disseminating accurate information about legal work opportunities and enhancing pre-departure training for migrant workers.
