Kalau dibanding dengan pemasukan devisa dari ekspor barang non-migas yang nilainya lebih kurang $50 - 60B/ tahun, pemasukan devisa dari para TKI 3.4 B/tahun rasanya sudah cukup berarti, hampir mencapai 10% dari nilai ekspor.
Kalau dinilai "produktivitas/jiwa" pekerja Indonesia di LN dibanding dengan yang di dalam negeri, tentu jauh lebih tinggi produktivitas TKI di LN (maksud saya jumlah/nilai rata-2 Income/jiwa). Kalau di-ukur terhadap GDP Indonesia total, memang belum terasa besar. Kalau tidak salah GDP Indonesia kira-2 $200 B/tahun (?) ====( IM )=========================================== <http://www.thejakartapost.com/detaillatestnews.asp? fileid=20050920181135&irec=2> --------------------------------------------- RI gets US$3.4b per annum from migrant workes --------------------------------------------- DENPASAR, Bali (Antara): The around 2.6 million Indonesians working overseas send home about US$3.4 billion in foreign exchange a year, an official of the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration said on Tuesday. >From 400,000 to 500,000 workers were sent to 16 countries annually under work contracts of up to three years, Director General of Overseas Work Placement I Gusti Made Arka said.
