Abstract

Domestic workers as informal workers need the same special attention and protection as
formal workers. The Manpower Law cannot be used as protection because domestic workers
are considered informal workers. Where the protection in question is in the form of a balance of
rights and obligations between the Domestic Worker and the employer, as well as guarantees of
safety to achieve decent work for Domestic Workers. Indonesia is a country that upholds the
protection of human rights, by protecting the value of dignity as a whole human being. However,
until now Indonesia does not yet have comprehensive regulations governing the protection of
domestic workers. The objectives of this thesis research are first, legal politics regulating the
protection of domestic workers in Indonesia from a human rights perspective. Second, the ideal
concept of regulating the protection of domestic workers in Indonesia from a human rights
perspective.

descriptive data, namely collecting all the necessary data obtained from primary and secondary
legal materials. This type of research is normative juridical, namely research that is focused on
examining the application of rules or norms in positive law.

carrying out their work are considered vulnerable to various problems, this of course makes
protection of domestic workers very necessary. Therefore, the existence of the Law on the
Protection of Domestic Workers does not only provide protection for domestic workers, but also
provides equal protection for employers, especially regarding the balance of rights and
obligations between domestic workers and employers. Second, the ideal concept of regulating
