Indonesia dispatches 750,000 workers overseas this year


The number of Indonesian workers employed overseas this year is expected to reach over 750,000, Antara reported.

The figure is bigger than that of last year which only reached about 380,000, according to the Indonesian Manpower Ministry's Director General for Overseas Recruitment, Gusti Made Arka.

The increased figure is partially attributed to the government's reform of its recruitment system, programmes and administration, as well as its signing of memorandums of understanding (MoU) with recipient countries.

Indonesia also plans to send workers to Australia, Japan and the Netherlands, he added.
