According to data from the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), 46,240 employees experienced layoffs (PHK) in Indonesia between January and August 2024, with the monthly trend as shown in the graph.

Cumulatively, national layoff victims increased by 24% compared to January-August 2023, which totaled 37,375 people.

Between January and August 2024, the highest number of layoffs was recorded in Central Java, with 14,712 people, equivalent to 32% of the total national layoff victims.

This was followed by DKI Jakarta with 7,469 layoffs (16%), Banten with 6,359 layoffs (14%), and West Java with 6,210 layoffs (13%).

However, this figure may not represent the entirety of layoff cases in Indonesia, as Kemnaker only records the number of layoff victims reported through the Manpower Service Information and Application System and/or industrial relations courts.

According to Indah Anggoro Putri, Director General of Industrial Relations Development and Manpower Social Security at Kemnaker, this year's layoffs were triggered by various factors, one of which is the weakening competitiveness of companies.

"Those who are not ready to face this dynamism, between competition, global and regional situations, and changes in consumer lifestyles, ultimately they cannot cope. So they are forced to conduct layoffs," said Indah, as reported by Antara (23/8/2024).
