        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has pledged to provide daycare facilities for factory workers in industrial zones to alleviate concerns about leaving children unattended while working. This initiative was announced during his speech at the 2026 International Labour Day commemoration in Jakarta's Monas field, responding directly to workers' suggestions. Additionally, Prabowo outlined plans to simplify home ownership for low-income groups, including workers, by extending mortgage repayment periods up to 40 years and reducing the financial burden of current regulations, aiming to shift rental payments towards owning property.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has stated that the government will strive\nto provide childcare facilities, or daycare, for factory workers,\nparticularly in industrial areas.<\/p>\n<p>This daycare programme was mentioned by Prabowo during his speech at\nthe commemoration of International Labour Day or May Day 2026 at Monas\nin Jakarta recently.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo said that he received input suggesting that the government\nshould facilitate the provision of daycare facilities to help workers\nwhile they work without worrying about leaving their children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was mentioned earlier that workers need a place for childcare,\ndaycare,\u201d said Prabowo in front of the masses of workers filling Monas\nfield, quoted on Saturday (2\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The number one person in Indonesia revealed that he would immediately\nfollow up on the suggestion. The daycare facility programme for factory\nworkers is hoped to be realised as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>On the same occasion, Prabowo also mentioned that economically weak\ncommunities such as workers will be facilitated in home ownership. One\nof the efforts is to create a mortgage repayment scheme that is as light\nas possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrothers and sisters, earlier I said 30 percent for rent (house).\nLater, we will ensure that you will own that house,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>\n<p>According to Prabowo, the current mortgage regulations are considered\nquite burdensome, making it difficult for millions of people to access\nhome financing facilities. He said that home financing regulations need\nto be simplified.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe instalments, if possible, 20 years, if not 20 years, 25 years.\nIf not paid off in 25 years, 30 years. If not possible, 35 years, 40\nyears,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause workers can\u2019t possibly run away anywhere, right? Farmers and\nfishermen can\u2019t possibly run away anywhere,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>The former Kopassus Deputy Commander stated that due to the high\nmortgage instalments, many workers use 30 percent of their salary just\nto rent a house instead of repaying a mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the earlier 30 percent for rent, we will reduce it, that is to\nrepay your own house,\u201d said Prabowo.<\/p>",
