"One of the contents in the regulation is to organize the budgeting of social security for the
protection of non-state apparatus workers, election organizers, vulnerable workers, and workers
in region-owned enterprises throughout Indonesia," Amin expounded.

With the issuance of the Inpres and Permendagri, it is hoped that all regional heads will play an
important role in encouraging the protection of all workers in ministries, institutions, and local
governments, he said.

"I hope that with the presence of these regulations and policies, we have a foundation to be
more prime in motivating comprehensive protection for workers," he remarked.

Meanwhile, Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah said several social assistance programs have been
offered by the government to meet workers' basic needs and maintain national economic
sustainability.

"One of them is the wage subsidy program, which had been distributed in 2020 and then
continued in 2021 using the Workers Social Security Agency (BPJS-TK) database," Fauziyah
informed.
