Measuring The Role of The State in Protecting Indonesian Migrant Workers in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

The issue of Employment and Unemployment is a problem that is still a scourge for third-world countries. Labour is a factor that influences the improvement of a country's economy, but on the other hand, an increase in labour can become a problem for the country's economy. As always happens in every cooperative relationship between countries in the international scope, be it bilateral or multilateral, where each country has its own interests, it is possible for obstacles such as differences of opinion and even conflicts to occur. In this case, as happened in the bilateral relations between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia in the field of Manpower, although so far the relations between the two countries have been quite good in almost all sectors, with the problems that have arisen in the last few years, especially in the issue of Placement and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers In Saudi Arabia, the relationship between the two countries in the field of labour is slightly disturbed. Saudi Arabia is currently focused on meeting the 2030 vision where there will be many developments and projects in various sectors that require a lot of workers from all over the world, including Indonesia.
