Job Creation Becomes Priority of New Government

Borneonews - Jakarta, Member of the People's Representative Council of the Republic of Indonesia, Habib Idrus Salim Al Jufri, underlined the importance of job creation as the main focus for the new government which will be led by Prabowo and Gibran. He suggested that the government integrate this program in their agenda for the period 2024 to 2029. Habib believes that job creation is very crucial, especially in the context of the high number of layoffs (PHK) and the decline in people's purchasing power that has been seen, marked by deflation that has occurred over the last five months. According to him, the current economic conditions are far from expectations. He noted that the phenomenon of increasing layoffs must be handled seriously. "Job creation is the best solution to reduce unemployment and increase people's income," he said. Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower, during the period January to November 2023; as many as 57,923 people were reported to have experienced layoffs. Most of these layoffs occurred in the Central Java region, followed by DKI Jakarta and Banten Province. In DKI Jakarta, the service sector such as restaurants and cafes experienced the most layoffs, while in Central Java, the sectors most affected were manufacturing, textiles, garments and footwear. In addition, in the period January to August 2024, the number of workers affected by layoffs reached 46,240 people. In response to this, Habib is committed to fighting for the provision of employment opportunities as one of his work programs as a people's representative. "I want to open up as many job opportunities as possible for the community. As a first step, we will focus on my electoral district, Banten III (Greater Tangerang)," he stressed. Furthermore, Habib also called on the new government to pay more attention to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which are considered to have a major contribution to the national economy. He explained that MSMEs absorb around 97 percent of Indonesia's total workforce. In addition, MSMEs account for around 60.4 percent of total investment and contribute 61 percent to Indonesia's Gross Domestic Income (GDP). "Therefore, it is very important to prioritize MSMEs in every future economic policy and program," concluded Habib. (SOURCE)

Warta Ekonomi, Bandung - On Friday, February 21, 2025, at the West Java DPRD Building, a joint commitment was signed between the Governor of West Java, Dedi Mulyadi, the Chairman of the West Java DPRD, Pangdam III Siliwangi, Pangdam Jaya, the West Java Police Chief, the West Java High Prosecutor's Office, and the Metro Jaya Police Chief. This commitment emphasizes the synergy between institutions in eradicating acts of thuggery that have disrupted order and the business world in West Java. This firm step received full appreciation from the Chairman of the West Java Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO), Ning Wahyu. According to him, this policy is a breath of fresh air for business actors who have faced pressure from certain groups that hinder business activities. "This commitment is very positive because it provides certainty for the business world. So far, disturbances from irresponsible mass organizations have often occurred in industrial areas and outside the area. With this policy, we hope that the investment climate in West Java will be more conducive," said Ning, Thursday (26/2/2025). Furthermore, Ning emphasized that Governor Dedi Mulyadi's steps in eradicating thuggery and disturbing mass organizations will have a significant impact on business security, increase investor confidence, and maintain workforce stability. Currently, West Java has the highest unemployment rate in Indonesia, which is 1.76 million people or around 23.7% of the national total. Therefore, APINDO Jabar emphasizes the importance of maintaining investment so that it does not leave West Java, which has the potential to cause an increase in the number of layoffs (PHK). "Security in business is very important because it not only protects investment, but also ensures the continuity of work for employees and community businesses around the industrial area," he added. Ning also assessed that Dedi Mulyadi's leadership is very much needed by the business world. A firm attitude and courage in enforcing the law are key factors in creating a healthy investment climate. "Kang Dedi is not only a leader who is firm in speaking, but also dares to take real action. Since the beginning of his term, he has shown his commitment to creating a safe and investment-friendly West Java," he said. In addition, Ning highlighted the direct approach taken by Governor Dedi Mulyadi in understanding the conditions of the business world. According to him, the presence of a leader who goes down to the field and witnesses firsthand the challenges of entrepreneurs is a strategic step in formulating effective policies. APINDO Jabar hopes that under the leadership of Dedi Mulyadi, collaboration between the government and the business world will be even closer. "With strong synergy, the government and business actors can work together to create jobs, improve people's welfare, and build a more advanced and competitive West Java," he concluded. (SOURCE)
