Lecture by Wayne Palmer on "Labour market institutions for immigrants: the case of high-wage migrant workers in Indonesia"
As part of the Lecture Series of the DFG Research Training Group "Cross-Border Labor Markets: Transnational market makers, infrastructures, institutions" (RTG2951), Wayne Palmer (Bielefeld University) gives a lecture on "Labor market institutions for immigrants: the case of high-wage migrant workers in Indonesia".
The lecture will take place on June 10, 2024 at 1:15 p.m. in X-B2-103. All interested parties are warmly invited.
In his lecture, Wayne Palmer discusses a novel 'legal process' analysis to examine labour market institutions' role in addressing violations of migrants' labour rights in Indonesia. Examining 92 labour disputes and conducting qualitative interviews with stakeholders, he explores Indonesia's primary labour market institutions' effectiveness in safeguarding migrants' rights. He reveals systemic shortcomings within Indonesia's labour market institutions, indicating their limited capacity to protect migrants' labour rights effectively. Qualitative interviews provide insights into various foci and disconnects contributing to institutional failures. Calling attention to the role of the state, Palmers lecture identifies 'institutional fixes' that facilitate migrant rights protection, such as the assistance provided by private lawyers. He argues for shifting focus from 'migrant exceptionalism' to acknowledging migrants' experiences within labour market institutions as workers. His study contributes to understanding migrant labour governance in Indonesia, emphasizing the need to address institutional failures and advocate for comprehensive reforms to protect migrants' rights effectively.
