This study analyzes with regard to the state in providing protection to Indonesian migrant workers. Social facts suggest that the social and economic conditions of Indonesia indicate that the poverty and hardship of Indonesian society is high enough, resulting in many Indonesians choosing to work abroad, especially some destination countries such as Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. The main problem experienced by Indonesian migrant workers is related to protection in the form of comprehensive insurance and can provide protection to Indonesian migrant workers. Previous regulation on migrant workers insurance through the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia No.Per.07/Men/V/2010, about Indonesian Labor Insurance and amended through the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration of the Republic of Indonesia No.1 of 2012, Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration No. Per.07/Men/V/2010 concerning Indonesian Worker Insurance focuses on private consortiums that organize insurance against migrant workers should be managed by the State directly.
