This study focused on how the state’s responsibility to fulfill the rights of Indonesian migrant workers during pandemic. This study used the juridical method. Work was one of the basic rights of citizens, so the State was responsible for providing jobs and decent living. It was also the right of migrant workers to be eased and facilitated their interests by the State.
