Data from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) shows that 7,694 domestic workers experienced layoffs (PHK) between January and February 2024.

At the beginning of this year, the most significant number of layoffs occurred in Jakarta, with 3,651 people, or 47.45% of the total national layoffs.

This was followed by Central Java and West Java, with 2,886 and 654 people respectively.

Provinces with the lowest number of layoffs nationally were Bali and West Sumatra, each recording only one layoff case.

It should be noted that this data does not encompass all layoff cases in Indonesia. Kemenaker only records layoffs reported by companies through the Manpower Service Information and Application System or the Industrial Relations Court.

Mass layoffs also occurred in the widely reported case of corruption at PT Timah in Bangka Belitung. Reportedly, the layoffs targeted approximately 100 permanent smelter workers. However, the number of contract workers laid off could reach thousands.

“The issue of layoffs is real. It's important to understand the impact of the ongoing legal case affecting our colleagues in the tin smelter sector; it has contributed to these mass layoffs,” said the Acting Head of the Indonesian Tin Exporters Association, Harwendro Adityo, as reported by *Bisnis* on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
