<![CDATA[This Studi is motivated by the implementation of the New Southbound Policy 2.0, which has increased the placement of Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan, including those from Kendal Regency. However, migrant worker placement remains concentrated in the caregiving and domestic sectors, which are vulnerable to wage-related issues, contract violations, and inadequate legal protection. Studies examining the implementation of this policy at the local level also remain limited. Therefore, this Studi analyzes the implementation of the New Southbound Policy 2.0 in relation to the placement of migrant workers from Kendal Regency in Taiwan during the 2023–2025 period through a constructivist perspective. This research employs a qualitative method with a case Studi approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing stages. The findings indicate that the implementation of the New Southbound Policy 2.0 has increased the placement of migrant workers from Kendal Regency in Taiwan. Nevertheless, their employment remains dominated by the caregiving and domestic sectors, which are vulnerable to problems related to wages, employment contracts, and legal protection. Research on the implementation of this policy at the local level also remains limited. Therefore, this Studi examines the implementation of the New Southbound Policy 2.0 in the placement of migrant workers from Kendal Regency in Taiwan from 2023 to 2025 using a constructivist perspective.
