This is one of the proble in this country that never been solved. Our way should falter when this problem always we face day by day. And i hope someday in Indonesia there’s no outsource people again. And for the company which provide outsource people and didn’t pay the people under them (work in another corp), the owner should be in jail. How dare they’re taking money from the poor people???
3. Jobless growth
As what i read in newspaper that there are so many company nowadays fired their workers maybe hundred or thousand due to the economic slowdown. So, they have to do it. There’s some reason that push me to write this. There are some questions in my head. Are those companies who fired thousad workers, really don’t have money to pay the salary of their workers? Are they in debt? Do they face a tight liquidities? If they get profit, why they fired their workers? Because they pay too much to the Board Of Directors? Or What?
Given the reported trends of the shifting of most foreign and domestic investment from labor to more capital intensive sectors, Jokowi-JK should be particularly aware of higher unemployment and underemployment. The situation is similar at the global level, confirming a “jobless growth” phenomenon where the creation of jobs can’t catch up with the growing labor force, particularly among the youth.
Business people argue that Indonesian worker productivity has not been higher compared to workers from neighboring countries, in fact with less income. Wider income inequality the government has to develop a policy to address inequality and vulnerability among the regions, to prevent workers “race to the bottom”, by establishing a minimum safety net for all citizens to access minimum protection for health, income and pension. The agenda should also provide incentives for business to grow, by reallocating a mis-targeted fuel subsidy.
Jobless growth happen in America and Indonesia and some countries. In America as i read the news about Bank Of America (if i’m not wrong) as one of the biggest bank in America. They fired their people too due to economic slowdown. There are so many people suffered due to the termination. And in Indonesia, we see what happen with Panas**ic and the other companies who have the same way to their people.
Well, i don’t have a word to say this. But i’m waiting for the income statement of the companies who fired their workers. Why and then what? I want to make sure about what happen. But what i see is the companies tend to fire their workers bercause they pay too much to their Board Of Directors (BOD) like what SOE’s (Merpa*i) did! I wait till the external auditor release their income statement in BEI (Bursa Efek Indonesia). I’m curious about this.
In the end, are you sure to say “we are ok” when it’s not? Are you sure to say that our economic is stable when we day by day will be near in 98? When we see this kind of problem that have a never ending solution, should our way falter?
