True, as Rayindra indicated that there is no "Indonesian" mentioned but consider that TKW is an Indonesian concept, so I guess I should've added (Indonesian).
TKI=TKW all are Indonesian concepts.

note to pak Eddie: I was not referring to the concept of the term in its broadest sense, I was referring to the "abbreviation" "TKW" (my apologies on choosing the diction "concept") not in its entirety as a universal concept. I am aware of labour migration in the historical context as you mentioned. Tx.

: With all due respect, I disagree w your note that TKI/TKW are Indonesian concepts. During the economic boom in Europe (1950/1960's) many migrant workers fm countr's such as Spain, Italy, and N. African countries came to work in a.o. Holland and Germany.

TKW does not need to Indonesian only. The concept is simply that the labour is a women, not a man.
