The Workers Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan) is going the whole way to ensure that all PMIs are protected. One way is through its cooperation with the Immigration Directorate General.

The cooperation on the use of immigration data to help provide social security for workers was signed by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan president director Agus Susanto and Law and Human Rights Ministry director general of immigration Ronny F. Sampie.

The data that will be used comes specifically from the directorate general's Immigration Management and Information System (SIMKIM), which makes use of immigration data to support the operations, management and decision-making when it comes to immigration affairs.

"Through the cooperation with the Immigration Directorate General, we hope that all Indonesian workers working abroad can have their data registered so that we can do our best to give them workers social security protection," Agus said. "This also includes foreign workers working in Indonesia."

The data covers information found in one's passport, such as the name, birth place, date of birth, gender, passport number, passport expiration date, address, passport issuance date and photo of the passport holder.

"Through this cooperation, we aren't just accessing and making use of immigration data. The opposite is true as well. We are exchanging data with the Immigration Directorate General so that each party can get maximum synergy for their respective functions," Agus said.

"In order to ensure data privacy for each party, we have agreed to build a special electronic communications network. We are doing this to ensure that data can be used in a safe and transparent way," he added.

After a year of implementing workers social security protection for Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) working abroad, accelerated measures are being prepared to give these workers the best protections possible for the risks they face.
