Perlindungan Hukum Bagi Pekerja Rumah Tangga di Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the legal protection for domestic workers (Pekerja Rumah Tangga, PRT) in Indonesia. The type of this research is juridical-normative with data collection that utilizes the literature studies. The results of the research indicate that Law Number 13 of 2003 on Manpower specifically does not provide special legal protection for domestic workers, meaning that normatively domestic workers are not protected in the law. To minimize cases regarding domestic workers and to fulfill their rights, the Minister of Manpower Regulation Number 2 of 2015 on Protection of Domestic Workers (Permen PPRT) was issued which seeks to fulfill the rights of domestic workers. There are still a number of cases experienced by domestic workers, thus it is urgent to pass the Bill on the Protection of Domestic Workers.
