Abstract

The government has not been able to fully absorb and provide employment for citizens of working age. Every job market is opened, whether it is in government or private institutions, the demand for it or applicants is always booming. Competitive and limited job opportunities, not a few job seekers turn their attention to try their luck applying for jobs abroad. During the Covid-19 pandemic that hit the global world, it was only discovered that so many migrant workers had worked in various parts of the world. Various work professions have been carried out, such as - on cruise / commercial ships, restaurant ships, and other types of work. Not all migrant workers who arrive in Indonesia are not administratively recorded. So that the central and regional governments are frantic in their handling because so far administratively it has not been recorded properly. The existence of migrant workers so far has contributed to the implementation of development. They are workers, for every wage or service they get and receive, to then be sent to their families in Indonesia. Regulations on the protection of migrant workers as regulated in Law Number 18 of 2017. The existence of these regulations has not been able to provide comprehensive protection for workers. Bali which is a world tourist destination, the lives of its citizens cannot be separated from having human resources who already have the skills and expertise in the tourism sector. The skills and abilities possessed, of course, are very supportive to work as crew members abroad. Against the lack of protection for migrant workers, on the other hand, the contribution given to the regional economy is very high. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to issue regional legal products, to provide social security and protection for workers originating from Bali. Furthermore, the Bali Provincial Government issued Bali Governor Regulation Number 12 of 2021 concerning the Indonesian Migrant Worker Protection System for Krama Bali.
