EMPLOYERS SEEK TO DEFEND JOBS LAW

Businesspeople have sought to defend the recently passed Job Creation Law days after 11
rninisters did so, claiming that the regulation will uphold labor rights and will address high labor
costs and productivity issues. Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) chairman Hari-yadi
Sukamdani said on Friday that issues preventing businesses from employing more people formed
the background of the drafting and deliberation of the omnibus law. He said the legislation aimed
to redress a long-term decline in employment.

"In the span of 17 years since Law No. 13/2003 on labor was passed, a significanl decline in
employment has taken place," he said in a virtual discussion held by the association.

"This is in contrast to the growth of our workforce, which has increased by more than 2 million
people every year."
