“…Beyond economic motives, other factors, including the duration of their employment in Malaysia, their comfort with the living conditions, and marital ties with a native Malaysian citizen, further influenced the choice. Consequently, it is unsurprising that a significant flow of international labor migration could be observed from countries with slower economic development and lower wage levels to countries experiencing more rapid economic growth and offering higher salaries (Noveria & Romdiati, 2022).…”

“…In this context, the Kangean Islands symbolize a region heavily reliant on Malaysia, a nation characterized by significantly more advanced economic development. This dependence has endured even though most Kangean migrant workers in Malaysia engage in labor-intensive roles, often involving construction and other demanding tasks (Noveria & Romdiati, 2022).…”

Pandemi COVID-19 telah membawa era transformatif terhadap dunia global, yang sangat berdampak pada kehidupan dan aspirasi para pekerja migran Kangean yang mencari pekerjaan di Malaysia. Meski terjadi secara global, para pekerja migran Kangean tetap teguh dan bertekad untuk tetap mendapatkan kesempatan kerja di Malaysia. Penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap faktor-faktor utama yang memicu aspirasi para pekerja migran Kangean untuk bertahan menghadapi rintangan berat dalam upaya mereka untuk bekerja di Malaysia selama pandemi COVID-19. Dengan menggunakan metodologi penelitian kualitatif, penelitian ini menggunakan pengumpulan data primer melalui wawancara dan observasi terhadap warga Kangean yang pernah, sedang, atau berencana bekerja di Malaysia. Selain itu, data sekunder dikumpulkan melalui analisis ekstensif terhadap literatur yang bersumber dari jurnal, buku, artikel, dan situs web imigrasi terkemuka seperti Badan Perlindungan Pekerja Migran Indonesia (BP2MI), Dinas Tenaga Kerja (DISNAKER), dan DATABOKS Tenaga Kerja Indonesia (TKI) . Untuk mendukung analisis kami, penelitian ini mengadopsi Teori Ketergantungan, yang mencakup tingkat ketergantungan yang dilakukan oleh pekerja migran Kangean terhadap Malaysia. Temuan penelitian ini menggarisbawahi bahwa faktor ekonomi sebagai pendorong utama yang mendorong calon pekerja migran Kangean mencari pekerjaan di Malaysia. Lebih jauh lagi, penelitian ini menyoroti dua pendekatan berbeda yang digunakan oleh para pekerja ini dalam upaya mereka untuk masuk ke Malaysia, yaitu jalur legal dan ilegal. Namun demikian, karena ketatnya peraturan perjalanan internasional yang diberlakukan selama pandemi, upaya-upaya ini menghadapi hambatan yang signifikan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian di masa depan harus fokus tidak hanya pada peningkatan pemahaman kita tentang pola migrasi internasional yang dilakukan oleh penduduk Kangean, namun juga mengeksplorasi penerapan yang lebih luas dari tren migrasi tersebut, tidak hanya Malaysia tetapi juga mencakup negara-negara lain.Kata Kunci : Pekerja Migran Kangean, faktor ekonomi, migrasi internasional, Pandemi COVID-19, teori ketergantungan.

“…The positive impacts for Indonesia include increasing the country's foreign exchange, fulfilling employment opportunities for its residents, and increasing the income and standard of living of IMWs. The COVID-19 pandemic created various problems and economically impacted families and communities (Noveria, 2022). The Indonesian government has implemented several new regulations to protect IMWs which include when they have not departed or during the preparation period, when they are working in the destination country, and when they have returned to Indonesia (Witono, 2021).…”

Abstract. The number of Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs) working abroad is very large. In 2021, it reached 52.278 specifically in Hong Kong. The IMWs are spread across various regions in Hong Kong. Most IMWs fill in industrial work in factories and household or domestic work. During the post-pandemic, many IMWs were laid off and some even had their employment terminated. The problem that arises when exposed to layoffs is that most of them are not ready to work independently. Most will return to their homeland with makeshift supplies. From the situation analysis, problems that can be identified include: 1) Lack of understanding of the pandemic which has an impact on sluggishness in doing business, 2) Lack of understanding of entrepreneurship as a provision for independent living, and 3) Lack of understanding of the importance of marketing products/services digitally in the post-pandemic period. Based on the findings of the identified problems, the international community service program carried out various activities to solve these problems. The activities carried out include 1) training to increase understanding of entrepreneurship, 2) training to improve marketing skills, 3), training on attractive product packaging, and 4) providing assistance from Indonesia. This community service activity results in the realization of migrant workers who are ready to do entrepreneurship and have marketing skills. Moreover, they are also able to package simple products in the form of processed and fried products.

“…These countries are undergoing significant changes, particularly in the economic and health sectors. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO), migrant workers are consistently excluded from the COVID-19 prevention policies implemented by their host countries [3]. Indonesian migrant workers from West Kalimantan have also been impacted by the pandemic, resulting in uncertainty regarding their departure abroad and an increase in the number of Indonesian migrant workers facing layoffs and returning to Indonesia.…”

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on various aspects of life, particularly on Indonesian migrant workers (IMWs). In the early months of 2020, 100,094 IMWs from 83 countries returned to Indonesia due to the spread of COVID-19. This unexpected return was a consequence of the pandemic’s effects on the global economy, leading to layoffs of international workers, including IMWs. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the government took measures to accommodate the return of Indonesian migrant workers to their home country. This reflects the government’s efforts to improve the governance of IMWs, especially in West Kalimantan, which serves as a transit location for IMWs returning from overseas. The research conducted is sociological jurisprudence research, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. Primary data sources include observations, interviews, surveys, and questionnaires involving respondents. The research approach aims to describe and provide an overview of the subject under study, with a focus on the challenges faced during the research period. Secondary data sources consist of books, legislation, rules, documents, and other writings related to the topic. According to the study, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in deportations, repatriations, and other effects on Indonesian migrant workers, especially those from West Kalimantan. In response, the Indonesian government has played both a normative and empirical role in protecting the rights of Indonesian migrant workers, with their welfare being the ultimate goal. Keywords: migrant workers, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, legal protection
