        "summary": "The Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) has raised concerns over declining social security protection for workers in Indonesia's labour-intensive sectors, including textiles, garments, footwear, and leather. A survey revealed significant gaps in pension, death, and workplace accident coverage, with many workers likely lacking old-age benefits by 2030. The think tank has urged the government to enforce union rights and strengthen social dialogue to improve workers' bargaining positions.",
        "content": "<p>The Center of Economic and Law Studies (Celios) has highlighted the\nimportance of protection and provision of social security, particularly\nfor workers in labour-intensive industries including textiles, garments,\nfootwear and leather (TGSL).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on DecentWorkCheck survey data in the TGSL industry analysed\nby Celios, it shows that social security and occupational health\nprotection for workers in Indonesia has declined,\u201d said Celios Director\nof Public Policy\/Fiscal Justice Media Wahyudi Askar when contacted in\nJakarta on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Media detailed that 29 percent of workers do not have pension\nsecurity, 8 percent are not covered by death security, and 6 percent do\nnot yet have work accident security.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, 59 percent of workers are estimated to still lack\nold-age security by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the work environment side, 40 percent of companies do not yet\nhave clinics at work sites, while 16 percent of workers have never\nparticipated in Occupational Health and Safety (K3) training,\u201d said\nMedia.<\/p>\n<p>Celios has provided a number of recommendations following these\nfindings, one of which is for the government to ensure enforcement of\nthe right to organise in accordance with International Labour\nOrganization (ILO) Conventions No.\u00a087 and 98.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, he said strengthening trade unions through legal\nprotection and facilitation of social dialogue will improve workers\u2019\nbargaining position in determining fair wages.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, he said Media also highlighted the increase in\nformal or full-time workers that occurred as of May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>However, he hopes this can be further improved, considering the\nincrease compared to the February 2026 period was only 0.03 percentage\npoints.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics Indonesia (BPS) recorded that 98.98 million people worked\nfull-time (66.80 percent of the total working population) as of May\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother interesting data point, the number of labourers rose by 342\nthousand, and own-account workers by 14 million. But full-time workers\nonly rose by 0.03 percent. This means the increase in labourers and\nown-account workers is most likely workers with working hours below 35\nhours, or doing odd jobs,\u201d said Media.<\/p>",
