Presidential candidate number one, Anies Baswedan, stated that 45 million Indonesians are not working in decent conditions.

He made this statement during the fifth 2024 Presidential Debate series, themed Social Welfare, Culture, Education, Information Technology, Health, Employment, Human Resources, and Inclusion, held at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) on Sunday (February 4th, 2024).

In his vision and mission presentation, Anies said, "What is the problem today? 45 million people are not working in decent conditions," he stated.

Statistics Indonesia (BPS) measures the inadequacy of worker salaries based on the Low Pay Rate (LPR), which is the number of laborers/employees whose wages are below 2/3 of the national median wage.

BPS also recorded that in 2022, approximately 14.83 million laborers/employees received an LPR or inadequate salary. This represents 29.11% of the total workforce during that period.

This figure increased compared to 2021, where the number of workers with inadequate salaries reached 13.59 million or 27.67%.

However, the low wage figure or LPR does not reflect all workers whose working conditions are inadequate.

This is because the decency of working conditions is not only assessed based on salary, but also on working hours, work-life balance, job stability, fair treatment in the workplace, occupational safety, social security coverage, and the right to organize.
