Jakarta, Feb. 27 -- Minister for the Protection of Migrant Workers (P2MI) Abdul Kadir Karding has said that all Indonesian nationals working and building their careers overseas fall under the category of migrant workers.

Minister Karding made the statement in response to a stereotype among the public that migrant workers are solely employed as domestic help.

Speaking at the Institute of Public Administration (IPDN) on Wednesday, he cited volleyball athlete Megawati Hangestri Pertiwi and football player Pratama Arhan, who have careers abroad, as examples of migrant workers.

This determination is based on Law Number 18 of 2017, which states that Indonesian citizens who work abroad and receive a salary are considered migrant workers.
