The Povertist

As the Social Protection Program Manager at the International Labour Organization’s Country Office for Indonesia and Timor-Leste, I recently presented an analysis of the pressing need for pension reform in Indonesia. The country faces rapid demographic changes and inadequate pension coverage, and our analysis aims to provide crucial insights into the challenges ahead and potential solutions.

We held a technical meeting on August 20 with Indonesian trade unions on pension reforms, and listened and discussed the Indonesian Government’s proposal.
