In their work practice, Indonesian domestic workers (PRTs) can live with their employers. This was revealed in a 2021 report by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The ILO stated that the proportion of domestic workers living with their employers reached 31.7% of the total Indonesian PRTs in 2018. Meanwhile, those who do not live with their employers account for a larger proportion, namely 68.3%.

When broken down by gender, the number of PRTs living with their employers is higher among women than men.

The proportion of female PRTs living with their employers reached 33.6% of the total female domestic workers in Indonesia. Meanwhile, those who do not live with their employers account for 66.4%.

Male PRTs living with their employers only account for 21.2% of this group. Those who do not live with their employers account for a higher proportion, namely 78.8%.

The ILO also noted that the number of Indonesian PRTs aged 15 years or older was estimated to reach 1.22 million in 2018. This equates to 1% of the total working population of Indonesia in that year.

Of this number, the quantity of female workers is higher than that of male workers.
