Indonesian regional worker social security expansion
Overview
Regional governments and social security agencies across Indonesia are implementing initiatives to increase employment insurance coverage for the workforce.
In South Sulawesi, the provincial government has established a target to protect over 2 million workers, or approximately 49 percent of the non-government workforce, by 2026. Local officials have emphasized the need to strengthen program implementation to protect vulnerable workers, while institutions like PT Bank Sulselbar have reported full coverage for their staff.
Other provinces are pursuing similar goals with different metrics. Riau aims for 85 percent coverage by 2029, focusing on partnerships with labor unions. In West Java, officials are addressing a gap where only 7.9 million out of 22.5 million potential workers are registered. To combat this, the BPJS Ketenagakerjaan director has called for massive literacy campaigns and local government collaboration, including programs like ‘Asuransi Aing’ to protect informal workers.
