According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) report, in February 2024 there were approximately 53.04 million laborers/employees in Indonesia.

Laborers/employees are individuals who work for another person or institution/office/company on a permanent basis and receive wages/salaries. Laborers without a permanent employer are not included in this group but are classified as independent workers.

BPS recorded that of the 53.04 million laborers/employees in February 2024, 28.84 million (54.36%) received salaries below the provincial minimum wage (UMP).

Meanwhile, a smaller number, 24.2 million (45.64%), received salaries above the UMP.

According to data from the Ministry of Manpower, the national average UMP in 2024 is Rp3.11 million.

Previously, based on the Manpower Law Number 13 of 2003, every business entity was prohibited from paying employees below the minimum wage.

However, this provision has been amended through the Job Creation Perppu Number 2 of 2022 (Chapter IV Employment Article 90B), so the minimum wage provision is exempted for micro and small businesses.

In other words, micro and small businesses can now pay employee salaries lower than the UMP.
