Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, stated that a significant portion of the Indonesian population lacks social security.
He made this statement during the fifth Presidential Election debate of 2024, themed "Social Welfare, Culture, Education, Information Technology, Health, Employment, Human Resources, and Inclusivity," held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Sunday, February 4th, 2024.
During his vision and mission presentation, Anies said, "What is the problem today? 45 million people are not working decently, and speaking of social security, more than 70 million people do not have social security."
According to Law No. 40 of 2004, social security is a form of social protection to guarantee that all citizens can meet their basic needs adequately.
Based on this law, social security includes:
* Health insurance;
* Work accident insurance;
* Old-age insurance;
* Pension insurance; and
* Death insurance.
According to the *Decent Work Indicators in Indonesia* report from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in 2022, there were approximately 63.88 million workers nationally with the status of laborers/employees and independent workers.
Of this number, only 39.64% received social security, while 60.36% did not.
Specifically, in 2022, the number of laborers/employees and independent workers without social security reached 38.56 million, comprising 26.46 million men and 12.1 million women.
This figure increased compared to 2021, as shown in the graph (Note: Graph not included in provided text).
However, this figure does not include the number of people without social security who are self-employed, unemployed, or outside the workforce.
Therefore, the total number of Indonesians without social security is potentially higher than that recorded by BPS in this report.
