The Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker) reported 77,965 workers experienced layoffs (PHK) in Indonesia throughout 2024.

During this period, the highest number of layoffs was recorded in DKI Jakarta, with 17,085 workers affected, representing 22% of the national total.

The provinces with the next highest number of layoffs were Central Java with 13,130 workers; Banten with 13,042 workers; and West Java with 10,661 workers. Layoffs in other provinces were relatively lower, as shown in the graph.

It should be noted that this data does not represent 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.

Throughout last year, no reported layoffs were recorded from West Papua and Papua.

Furthermore, the Nusantara Workers' Union Confederation (KSPN) revealed that three textile factories are planning to lay off more than 4,000 workers in the near future. These three factories are located in Bandung Regency, Subang Regency, and Tangerang Regency.

"Workers, especially KSPN members, understand the layoff decisions because there are no incoming orders to the factories. The important thing is that workers' rights are fulfilled. We also have a logical point: if there are no orders, there is no need for work," said KSPN President Ristadi in his statement, as reported by *Katadata*, Friday (10/1/2025).

Ristadi projects that the trend of layoffs in the textile and textile product (TPT) industry will continue this year. He stated that the domestic market is still flooded with imported goods due to the Minister of Trade Regulation No. 8 of 2024 concerning Import Policy and Regulation.
