Batam (Antara Bali) - The Ministry of Labor and Transmigration has
estimated that Indonesia will begin to accept foreign workers in large
numbers by 2030 for lower-level labor markets that are no longer filled
by Indonesian workers.
"International institutions predicted that by 2030, Indonesia will
rank fifth to seventh among the best economies of the world. Therefore,
operator positions then will no longer be filled by local workers," Head
of Research Development and Information of the Ministry Labor and
Transmigration Sugiarto Sumas said here on Thursday.
It is estimated that by 2030, all Indonesians will have jobs and
widespread unemployment will no longer be prevalent, he added.
"Indonesia will need workers for operator positions. These posts
will be filled by foreign workers from countries whose economies are not
as good as Indonesias," Sumas affirmed.
Currently, as the number of unemployed in Indonesia is still too
large, foreign workers in Indonesia take up only certain positions.
So to manage the foreign workers, the government should prepare
regulations on issuing work permits for them, he pointed out.
"Foreigners given the work permits should be supervised well to ensure that they are not misused," Sumas remarked. (WDY)
