MINISTER PUSHES FOR PROVIDING SOCIAL SECURITY FOR DOMESTIC WORKERS

Jakarta - Minister of Manpower Ida Fauziyah has continually pushed for the provision of
healthcare and social security for domestic workers, and has consistently disseminated
information on the rights.

Fauziyah remarked that the number of domestic workers, with social security in employment and
health, was still low.
"The data shows that the number of domestic workers covered by social security both in health
and employment is still very minimal," the minister remarked while opening the virtual discussion
on "National Women's Movement for the Protection of Domestic Workers" here on Wednesday.

Fauziyah further noted that the ministry will encourage BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (Workers Social
Security Agency), the agency that manages workers' social security, to raise awareness, so that
domestic workers are able to receive optimal protection.

"I will continue to push BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to inform our domestic workers to provide
coverage to them," she remarked.

The need for domestic workers to receive social security is stipulated in Ministerial Regulation
(Permenaker) No. 2 of 2015 on the protection of domestic workers.

The regulation outlines the requirements to become a domestic worker, such as employment
agreements, rights, and obligations.
