The COVID-19 pandemic has been extremely serious on the global scale and is almost impossible to tell when the pandemic can be controlled. The economic downturn has a direct influence on workers in all groups, from formal to informal. For workers in the informal sector, a reduction in working hours due to the pandemic means a loss of income without unemployment benefits. Migrant workers are vulnerable because they often do not enjoy full labour rights and social security. Meanwhile, women often make up the majority of low-wage jobs and the economic sectors affected by the pandemic. The government has issued an emergency assistance package in which one of the beneficiaries are workers in the informal sector, but stipulating that they show their official residence registration in their current living place. However, female migrant workers in big cities often belong to the group that is not eligible for this support because their residence registrations are usually in their hometown in the country sides. Social benefits for workers in the informal sector, especially migrant women, need to be addressed because losing their jobs means the complete loss of income to support themselves and their families.
