Problems of sending workers in Indonesia abroad apparently did not escape from the unstable management of a number of employment companies. The number of labor supply exceeds demand, the government estimates the unemployment rate is down 7.9%. But in fact there are still many people with working status, but doing work that is not feasible.

Problems of migrant workers have emerged since the initial process in Indonesia. Generally the distribution of labor migrants through labor agencies, both legal and illegal. The migrant workers agency controls most of the initial process, from recruitment, passport and visa application, training, transit and placement of migrant workers. Many new migrant workers first overseas, recruited by a realtor who came to his village with a promise of a certain wage, many job options, and offers ease of assistance process.

Therefore, the goverment needs to curb illegal migrant workers to avoid problems since the initial process. In addition, the need for better coordination between the protection agency of TKI and Kemeneketrans. The government should be more focused on disclosing solutions rather than merely expressing problems. Because basically, Indonesia at this time needs a commitment to a strong population policy and will indirectly address the problems of TKI in the long term.
