A Look at the Job Creation Bill

A draft of the Omnibus Law will become a legal umbrella with a sapu jagat (one-size-fits-all) approach to boost Indonesia\'s economic growth.

The government is faced with a wave of rejections from several parties who doubt the effectiveness and the main purpose of deliberating this job creation bill. Several parties feel that the regulations contained in the draft could have a negative impact on their interests. The loudest objection of the bill came from labor groups. Several new regulations are seen as detrimental to workers, who have questioned at least three related principles, namely job security, income security and social security certainty.

These three principles seem to be missing from the bill, which has been handed over by the government to the House of Representatives some time ago. However, is it true that the job creation bill has lost all three principles of justice? The omnibus laws on job creation and taxation prepared by the government is supposedly a response to the current conditions and performance of Indonesia\'s economy, which is believed to be less than ideal. Since 2014, Indonesia seems to be trapped in low economic growth in the range of 5 percent. On the other hand, the level of risk that haunts the economy is also growing, eroding the level of confidence of economic stakeholders and the prospects of the Indonesian economy as a whole.
