Building the channels, keeping the gates: The role of intermediaries in shaping differentiated transnational labor mobilities out of Indonesia by Gracia Liu-Farrer

IDrawing on government statistics and in-depth interviews with owners and directors of 21 migrant worker sending companies in Indonesia, we identify three types of migrant worker sending companies that engage in and facilitate Indonesia鈥檚 overseas labor placement鈥攖he providers, the pioneers, and the protectors. We argue that in a changed labor-sending context, only those sending companies with strong and positively received identities and practices can sustain their businesses and succeed in recruiting workers, indicating a shift in relationships between labor intermediaries and migrant workers, as well as the role of intermediaries in shaping Indonesia鈥檚 labor-sending patterns.
