Stop human exports<\/p>\n
From Koran Tempo<\/p>\n
The news carried by Koran Tempo labeling Indonesia as the
\nworld's largest human exporter is interesting and surprising --
\nespecially the quantity of this human traffic -- from 75,000 to 1
\nmillion citizens sent overseas a year, including women and
\nchildren as the most vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n
This trade in humans has become a lucrative business for
\nentrepreneurs. One wonders whether these businesspeople ever
\nseriously consider the fate of the workers the send overseas or
\ndo they convince themselves that these laborers will improve
\ntheir livelihoods abroad? It is likely they do neither.<\/p>\n
This labor export phenomenon stems from the country's
\nsignificant population growth and is also partly due to the less-
\nthan-successful implementation of family planning programs in
\nrecent times. Consequently, a lot of workers lack the proper
\nskills to survive in the job market.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, unskilled job seekers as citizens of Indonesia
\nhave the right to survive in their own country and should be
\ngiven the opportunity to try their luck at home; not be forced
\ninto exporting their skills and end up being left neglected
\noverseas.<\/p>\n
