In response to the ever-increasing labour demands while simultaneously addressing unemployment issues, Joko Widodo, the Indonesian President, recently signed Presidential Regulation No. 57 of 2023 on Mandatory Reporting of Job Vacancies (“Regulation“) into force on 25 September 2023. The Regulation repeals and supersedes the previous regulation on the same subject matter, namely Presidential Decree No. 4 of 1980 on Mandatory Reporting of Job Vacancies, which has become outdated in the evolving landscape of the Indonesian labour market.
By enacting the Regulation, the government hopes to enhance job search and placement through the creation of a centralised job vacancies information system. Both employers and job seekers can use this system. For employers, they can search for workers that match their workforce needs. Conversely, job seekers can find vacancies that are aligned with their skills, interests, and abilities. Meanwhile, for the government, they can use the information on job vacancies for labour planning, labour placement, labour market information reporting, and labour market analysis.
