Summary
Economic Community (AEC) is an economic integration agenda from ASEAN member states that aims to reduce economic barriers among Southeast Asian states. Began in early 2016, AEC ensures the free flow of investment, capital, skill workers, goods and services in 10 ASEAN member states. According to a research by International Labor Organization (ILO) in 2015, AEC will increase the demand of professional workers as much as 41% or approximately 38 million workers, the demand of middle level workers 24% or 14 million workers, and for low level workers, 24% or 12 million workers. The increased demand for workers is an opportunity for ASEAN member states to solve the domestic unemployment problem in some states. Accounted as the world's fourth largest population, Indonesia is accounted as one of the world's largest exporter of labours amongst the ASEAN members. According to Act No. year 2004, Indonesian migrant worker is every Indonesian citizen who are eligible to work abroad under the status of employment
