Migrant Workers Family Development Policy (Regulation of the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection No. 20/2010 – “Bina Keluarga TKI”)

In line with the Presidential Instruction No. 3/2010 on Justice for All/Equitable Development, the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection issued Regulation No.20/2010 on Indonesian Migrant Worker Family Development Policy (“Bina Keluarga TKI”) in order to empower migrant workers and their families.

This policy provides general guidelines and reference for national and local governments as well as communities to empower the economy, maintain harmony, well-being and protect families of Indonesian migrant workers.

Since the Indonesian Migrant Worker Family Development Policy was established, there are currently 26 Working Groups on Migrant Worker Family Development at the local/district levels in 10 provinces across Indonesia.

The policy is considered as one of the government’s alternative efforts to help overcome the problems of migrant workers and their families. The policy aims to empower families who have a family member -as a prospective migrant, migrant worker or returning migrant worker.

The development and empowerment of migrant worker families is done by increasing the resilience, building economic empowerment, fostering entrepreneurial spirit, effective use of remittances from abroad for productive economy, and by providing guidance for children of migrant workers according to their age.

Various activities for the development of migrant families are coordinated by women’s empowerment programs in relevant agencies, non-governmental organizations, women’s organizations and other community organizations.
