The large number of foreign workers working in Bali invites attention from the government to conduct measurable and directed supervision. In order to create administrative order, a regulation is made in the form of Permit to Hire Foreign Workers (IMTA). The purpose of this paper is to find out how the legal provisions and factors that occur in the implementation of supervision of foreign workers. From the facts that occur can be formulated the problem as follows: first, how is the implementation of TKA supervision by the Department of Labor of the Province of Bali? Second, what are the inhibiting factors? The method used in this paper is empirical, namely by conducting direct observations and interviews with sources in this case the related by Department of labor workers. Based on the results of research and discussion on the process of implementing labor inspections carried out by the Bali Provincial Manpower Office for companies that use foreign labor through granting permission to employ Foreign Workers (IMTA) in the Bali Provincial labor Office. The inhibiting factors include: TKA users neglect to intentionally not extend the IMTA, lack of coordination between the immigration office that issued a residence permit with the Bali Provincial Manpower Office or the Ministry of Manpower as the agency issuing permits to hire Foreign Workers, weak supervision and control by the local Provincial Manpower Office. Socialization caused by the unavailability of a budget from the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration.

“…Also, they proposed noncognitive skills-such as the "big five 9" personality traits and the "internalizing" and the "externalizing" 10 behavioral problem resulted from Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) 11 -as a channel of exposure in children's educational attainment. Saad and Fallah (2020) use the closure of the Israeli labor market during the Second Intifada to investigate the impact of a large labor market shock on the educational choices of Palestinian youth. This study employs difference in difference methodology by using the variation in the geographical distribution of commuters within the West Bank prior to the Second Intifada to compare high school dropout rates between localities with different shares of Palestinians workers who commuted to Israel before and after the Second Intifada.…”

This paper consists of three economic literature review essays that survey the Palestinian labor market during the last three decades. The first essay examines the economic return to schooling since 1981 until the recent period, taking into consideration the major shocks that the Palestinian economy experienced, such as the First and Second Palestinian Intifadas (1987-93 and 2000-5), respectively, and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority in 1993. A special focus is laid on overcoming the potential endogeneity arising from the schooling coefficient. The second essay discusses the economic costs of several conflict measures (e.g., time and geographical variation in fatalities and other conflict incidents, days under curfews, checkpoints, movement restrictions, and substitution of foreigner workers for Palestinian labor) on the labor market and human capital. Earnings and unemployment are the main labor market indicators, while the human capital impact was assessed by educational attainment. The third essay sheds light on the wage differential in the Palestinian labor market due to geographical and employment sector factors.

“…We find that marriage rates for men aged 19 to 29 years, defined as the proportion of married men in the specified group age, declined in the West Bank following the abrupt closure of the Israeli labor market in 2001 to Palestinian commuters. Our empirical strategy relies on the variations in locality exposure to the Israeli labor market before the closure, measured by the locality share of male commuters in total male employment, as in (Saad & Fallah, 2020). We use a difference in difference (DiD) strategy to compare marriage rates for young men across localities before and after the shock.…”

This study examines how a large negative economic shock impacts marriage rates for young men in the West Bank. Utilizing data from before and after the sudden and abrupt closure of the Israeli labor market for Palestinian commuters from the West Bank in 2001, our empirical design employs a difference-in-difference strategy and uses the variations in localities’ exposure to the Israeli labor market before the shock. The closure reduced the employment and income of adult men asymmetrically across localities. Our findings show that the closure caused a reduction in marriage rates among young men aged 19 to 29 years, as post-shock changes in marriage rates. Our results suggest that the adverse effect of the economic shock on male marriage is mediated through a combination of rising youth unemployment and rigid expectations about marriage costs.
