According to data from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), 27,222 employees experienced layoffs (PHK) between January and May 2024.

During this period, the highest number of layoffs occurred in Banten, with 5,859 employees affected, representing 21.52% of the national total.

Other provinces with significant layoff numbers include DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Central Java.

Meanwhile, no layoffs have been reported from South Sumatra, Bengkulu, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), East Kalimantan, North Kalimantan, West Sulawesi, North Maluku, West Papua, and Papua.

This data may not reflect all layoff cases in Indonesia, as Kemnaker only records layoffs reported by companies through the Manpower Service Information and Application System and/or industrial relations courts.

According to Anggoro Eko Cahyo, President Director of the Manpower Social Security Agency (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan), 24,453 employees filed claims for job loss insurance (JKP) until May 2024.

This figure represents only 89% of the total number of employees laid off nationally.

"We suspect that not all laid-off workers are registered as participants in health and manpower social security, making them ineligible for JKP," said Anggoro in a meeting with Commission IX of the DPR (House of Representatives) on Tuesday (2/7/2024).

Anggoro stated that they will continue to conduct socialization regarding the importance of the JKP program to workers and companies.

"We are also proactively trying to detect layoff cases and immediately communicate with the relevant companies to prevent delays in processing JKP for laid-off workers," said Anggoro.
