- Abstract
This research investigates the implementation of protection and empowerment for former migrant workers in the Jember Regency. It utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. Primary data is gathered from interviews, while secondary data is obtained from various sources such as documentation, websites, journals, books, and government publications. Data analysis employs interactive analysis, involving data collection, condensation, presentation, and conclusion. The findings reveal that the Jember Regency Government empowers former migrant workers through multiple strategies. They established the Desbumi program at the village level to integrate empowerment. Additionally, the government collaborates with Migrant Care Institutions to provide training and capacity-building. Moreover, Desbumi members independently engage in empowerment activities, creating their high-quality products. Future research in this area should focus on migrant workers’ group formation, considering sociological, economic, and political perspectives, beyond the government’s role in empowerment.
