Abstract

In August 2022, there were 104,230 foreign workers in Indonesia. But foreign participation in Indonesia’s labour market is frequently susceptible to nationalist backlash. Such a reaction could be seen at a May Day rally in 2018 organised by the militant Indonesian Trade Union Confederation, which lent its political support to presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto, who went on to garner almost 45 per cent of the popular vote.
