Lela Nurlaela Wati — 2024-02-20

Indonesian migrant workers (Pekerja Migran Indonesia-PMI) frequently encounter a multitude of issues and hazards, including substandard working conditions, withheld remuneration, and instances of abuse and exploitation throughout their employment overseas. To address this issue, the Indonesian government has adopted a range of social security initiatives aimed at safeguarding PMI. Nevertheless, the number of instances seen by PMI consistently rises each year, and the challenges confronted by Indonesian Migrant Workers surpass the extent of protection provided by this social security system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Social Security program in offering safeguarding for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions (PMI). The research methodology entails a comprehensive review of existing literature and analysis of secondary data from official reports and statistics provided by relevant institutions. The research findings indicate that government-provided social security programs, such as health and employment insurance, have effectively enhanced the level of protection for PMI. Nevertheless, this program has various impediments that impede its efficacy, including insufficient outreach, intricate management, and restricted program coverage. The research findings suggest that enhancing collaboration between governmental and private entities is necessary to strengthen the safeguarding of PMI, expand the dissemination of information and education regarding social security programs for PMI, streamline administrative procedures, and foster greater cooperation among relevant stakeholders.
