Seasonal workers

Seasonal workers

From Jayakarta

During the dry season many people leave their home towns when the harvest fails and head for Jakarta to try their luck. Jakarta has proven to be the best choice for them. We realize that the unemployment problem in Jakarta is crucial. Many workers who come to Jakarta do not meet the qualifications needed to enter the work force. With these seasonal job seekers the employment problem in Jakarta becomes increasingly complex. Yet it is impossible to stop them from coming to Jakarta.

What can the Jakarta Metropolitan Administration do to solve this problem? Most of the job seekers have no specific skills or education. They can only do odd jobs. Worse still, many of them come to Jakarta only to become vagabonds or beggars, a real challenge for Jakarta.
