        "summary": "Indonesia's Commission IX of the House of Representatives has called on the Ministry of Manpower to enhance early detection and mitigation measures against a potential wave of layoffs triggered by ongoing global conflicts, particularly in the Middle East. Members emphasised the need for comprehensive systems to identify at-risk sectors and prevent widespread impacts on workers, including those with disabilities. This proactive approach is seen as crucial given projections of worsening economic conditions in 2024, with hopes for improvement by 2026.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Commission IX of the Indonesian House of\nRepresentatives has urged the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) to\nanticipate a wave of layoffs amid recent global conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>Commission IX member Edy Wuryanto, during a working meeting with\nManpower Minister Yassierli, stated that the war in the Middle East\ncannot be denied to affect various sectors in many countries, including\nIndonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, I think the Manpower Minister\u2019s mitigation regarding\nlayoffs must be increased,\u201d he said at the parliamentary complex in\nSenayan, Jakarta, on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Commission IX member Nurhadi asked Kemenaker to strengthen\nmitigation steps against the potential wave of layoffs. He mentioned the\nneed for a comprehensive early detection system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope there is early detection carried out by the Minister and his\nstaff so that this can be anticipated early,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Through early detection, sectors that are potentially affected can be\nidentified so that preventive measures can be taken from the beginning.\nThat way, layoffs can be prevented as much as possible and their impact\ndoes not spread widely to society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 2026, hopefully it will decrease,\u201d said Nurhadi hopefully.<\/p>\n<p>The wave of layoffs was also highlighted by Deputy Chairman of\nCommission IX of the House of Representatives Charles Honoris. He asked\nKemenaker to formulate related programmes, especially for people with\ndisabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe projection for this year the number will be higher because the\neconomic condition is worse compared to last year so the pressure on\nworkers will definitely be heavier, including on workers from the\ndifabel community,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
