1) To stop fully and permanently Indonesian Housekeepers assignment

to abroad. Based on interview conducted in Immigration office of
the first class Malang and Labor office Singosari Malang, some
explanations could be analysed are following:
1) In resolving the labor problem, we need to relate it with the less number
of job vacancy in Indonesia. If Moratorium 2017 is realized in the future,
then there will be an increasing rate of jobless in Indonesia every year.
The territorial policy itself has multi perception to this kind of policy. For
this case, moratorium is considered being able to lower society welfare
due to a lot of people hang up their fate to be Indonesia migrants labor
There will be a lot of Indonesian people lost their job due this
Moratorium
For this reason, it needs government action to decrease the rate of
jobless in Indonesia through alternative policy to increase their income.
Government also has to understand the condition of placement country
or those countries that have bilateral cooperation in labor so called as
G to G such as Japan and Indonesia that have had an agreement
through MoU.

Government must be serious to suppress any practices which loss the

migrant worker, such as Kartu tanda kerja luar negri (KTKLN), passport,
training, and assignment that result to they have to bear additional
cost. If Government policy pertaining to Moratorium Indonesia 2017
terkait Penghentian Tenaga Kerja Indonesia Sektor Domestik is
established in 3 years ahead, this period is considered not a long period
for a policy which affects a lot of people as the number of Indonesian
labor is about 512,816 people
