neutral - Tyas Indrio (SMERU researcher) Our study found that homeworkers work 30 to 40
hours per week on average, sometimes even more. However, they receive very low wages, less
than Rp 500,000 [US$33] a month
neutral - Tyas Indrio (SMERU researcher) Most of them feel that being supplied with [protective
gear] is a luxury for homeworkers
Ringkasan
A recent study by the SMERU Research Institute, in cooperation with the Australia-Indonesia
Partnership for Gender Equality And Women's Empowerment (MAMPU), reveals that women who
work from home in the informal sector are struggling to access the basic rights of workers.
The longitudinal study involved 1,742 households, 6,138 individuals and 3,180 women in five
regencies in five provinces from 2014 to 2020, and found that homeworkers were usually not
considered employees. They were thus omitted from basic workers' rights, including minimum
wage and employee health insurance schemes.
