Abstract

Migration, or the movement of people from their country of origin to another country, is not a new phenomenon in human life. Transnational crime occurs not only due to free trade factors and weak law enforcement but also due to the geographical conditions of the country itself. This research aims to analyse and determine Indonesia's efforts to handle irregular migration as an implementation of the Bali Process. This research uses a type of qualitative research that is descriptive analysis. The data collection techniques used in this research are secondary documents and internet-based techniques. The results of the research show that Indonesia's efforts to deal with irregular migration can be carried out with preventive and repressive efforts as stated in Article 89, paragraphs 1. 2, and 3. Cooperation between Indonesia and Australia to deal with irregular migration in the Bali Process has resulted in several equal partnerships in an MOU. Efforts to handle and protect irregular migration in the Bali process are carried out by taking into account the policies of each country with a comprehensive regional approach in accordance with the principles of Burden sharing and collective responsibility. Cooperation between Australia and Indonesia uses the basic assumptions contained in the theory of institutional liberalism put forward by Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye, in the form of: 1. Trust in Cooperation, 2. International regime, 3. Complex dependency, and 4. Interdependence.

Abstract

This article examines the role of migration in the society of the receiving country, especially regarding the country’s survival. In this article, we discuss the role of migrant labor in sustaining Japan’s socio-economic situation, which is threatened by labor shortages caused by an aging population. An aging population is a population in which the elderly outnumber the productive age group, accompanied by an extreme decline in birth rates. Recruiting migrants has long been seen as a solution to an aging society. However, this study seeks to critically analyze whether it is indeed an appropriate solution. This article uses qualitative methods, including a case study approach and content analysis, to compile findings and analyses, and employs the concept of replacement migration in the conceptual framework. Our findings suggest that, coupled with an integrated policy framework and an inclusive society, migrant labor should be sufficient to facilitate the labor shortage occurring in Japan’s aging and declining population. However, migrant labor is only a temporary solution, as government integration policy is the most important factor determining how viable migration is as a solution.
