By June 2016, only 16.3 percent of the 120.6 million workers had enrolled in the social security program through the Manpower Social Security Agency (BPJSTK). To increase participation, BPJSTK is collaborating with various parties, including the Government Procurement Policy Institute (LKPP), the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), and local governments.
BPJSTK participation remains low, despite the government mandating all employers to register their employees. The agency will strictly enforce sanctions, ranging from warnings and fines to criminal penalties and denial of certain public services, against companies to ensure all workers receive protection.
