The Minister of Manpower emphasized that employment social security (Jamsos) protection for wage-earning workers is crucial for providing a sense of security and certainty in the workplace.
Through this program, workers are expected to receive protection against various risks that may arise both during work and in unforeseen circumstances.
The Minister explained that social security for workers is a form of the state’s commitment to providing protection for the workforce in Indonesia.
The program covers various key benefits, including Work Accident Insurance (JKK), Death Insurance (JKM), Old-Age Insurance (JHT), Pension Insurance (JP), and Unemployment Insurance (JKP).
He emphasized that participation in this program should ideally begin as soon as a person starts working so that protection can be sustained over time.
This is considered important because workplace risks can occur at any time and cannot be predicted by either the worker or the company.
In addition, the government is encouraging companies and relevant parties to increase awareness and compliance regarding the registration of workers in the social security program for workers.
With increased compliance, it is hoped that the coverage of social protection for workers in Indonesia will become broader and more equitable.
