Menaker encourages the inclusion of work, no one can be left behind

Jakarta – Minister of Manpower (Menaker), Yassierli emphasized that the principle of no one is left behind (no one is allowed to be left behind) is the most important foothold in the formulation of national employment policies. This principle is in line with the characteristics of a welfare state, which is a country that is fair and equivalent to work access and work protection for all citizens. It was transferred by Yassierli when he was a key speaker in the real discussion forum for the country and the state with the theme “A Wealthy State on the basis of ethics”, presented by the Center for Indonesia Reform (CIR) in Jicc Senayan, Jakarta, Saturday (21/6). Yassierli said that the Ministry of Manpower formed as a tangible form of the implementation of the principle the Directorate of Disability Work Placement. The directorate aims to expand jobs for people with disabilities and ensure equality to access in the world of work.

With a number of formal workers of about 60 million people, there is a potential of 600 thousand jobs for persons with disabilities,” Yassierli explained in his statement, Sunday (6/22/2025). According to Yassierli, the biggest challenge lies not only on the regulatory side, but also on the creation of work designs and disability -friendly work environment. This is important, so that the presence of persons with disabilities is not seen as a burden, but rather makes a productive contribution to the business. Furthermore, Yassierli revealed that the principle of no one left was also translated by the transformation of digital employment services ready for employment. This platform is a liaison between job seekers and online employers that can be obtained by people from all over Indonesia. “We already have a ready -to -work in which job seekers can bring with vacancies from different businesses,” he said. Yassierli added, in the future, the implementation of Job Fair will be more focused on career consulting services, work training exhibitions and services of the Work Training Center (BLK), no longer the main channel of labor. Yassierli also emphasizes the importance of expanding the participation of employment Social Security, especially for workers in the informal sector. According to him, the protection of work risks and age must cover all workers without exception. “We have BPJS employment, but to this day the scope of membership is still not optimal, especially not for informal workers. This is a challenge we have to answer together,” he said. (AKN/EGA) HOEGENG Awards 2025 Read the inspiring story of the exemplary police candidate here
