Implementation of Old Age Insurance Policy in Indonesia
Jurnal Bina Praja
Old-Age Insurance (JHT), which is intended for workers entering the old age, is now widely claimed when workers are still in their early age discussing the implementation of the policy on benefits of Old Age Insurance (JHT) in Indonesia. This study discusses the implementation of policies on benefits of Old Age Insurance (JHT) in Indonesia. JHT is a program in the form of giving cash when participants enter retirement age. In its implementation, there are several obstacles, namely many participants who took the benefits of JHT at a young age. This has led to a shift in the philosophy of JHT as well as the existence of companies that register good programs, wages and labor. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of the JHT benefit policy in Indonesia and what determines the success of implementing the JHT benefit policy. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews and literature studies. In-depth interviews were conducted with several informants including the government, BPJS Employment, participants and employers as well as NGOs. The results of this study, namely the implementation of the JHT benefit policy in Indonesia goes well despite disharmony of regulations and the successful implementation of the JHT benefit policy in Indonesia is strongly influenced by various things including the content and context of the policy itself and compliance with implementers and factual sociological conditions of the community. The conclusion is that implementation is going well even though it still faces both regulatory and compliance constraints, so it needs to be revised PP 60 in 2015, the existence of unemployment benefits so that it does not interfere with JHT and innovative performance is needed from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan.
Coverage and Targetting in the Indonesian Social Safety Net Programmes
Asean Economic Bulletin, 2001
The social safety net programs, which were created by the government of Indonesia in early 1998, were intended to help protect the newly poor due to the crisis as well as the traditionally poor. The programs include ensuring the availability of food at affordable prices, supplementing purchasing power through employment creation, and preserving access to critical social services, particularly health and education. The findings of this study, unfortunately, point out that in many cases the target groups have been largely missed by the programs due to low coverage and being only loosely targeted in practice. It should be emphasized, however, that effectiveness of the programs varies across programs and regions. This raises an interesting avenue for future studies on what accounts for these targeting outcomes. The general conclusion from this study points to the need for a large improvement in the program implementations, in particular in targeting the beneficiaries of a particular program and raising coverage within the target groups.
Social Security Mechanism (System): Theories, Design and Practice
2008
Living through hunger and physical hardship from infancy to premature old age; living through economic shifts that close factories and strip currency of its value in an instant; living through social turmoil, political upheaval, and war; through it all, poor men and women in communities around the world keep coming back to their deep longing for a better future for their children. And despite an age of unprecedented global prosperity and the existence of a worldwide network of poverty-reduction institutions, poverty persists and is intensifying among certain groups and in certain regions around the world. Again, while the 2008 financial crisis is global in nature, it is likely to have heterogeneous welfare impacts within the developing world, with some countries and some people more vulnerable than others. It also threatens to have lasting impacts for some of those affected, notably through the nutrition and schooling of children in poor families. These features point to the need for a differentiated social policy response, aiming to provide rapid income support to those in most need, while preserving the key physical and human assets of poor people and their communities. This paper therefore argued that attempts should be made in developing countries to establish institutions and financing mechanisms to assure permanent measures to insure against normal life-cycle contingencies. And for those countries considering alternative social protection measures, the choice should depend on the nature of contingencies experienced and on their administrative and financing capacities. Perhaps, prayer to Almighty God remains the key solution given the spiritual dimension of the social problem under consideration (and since righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any nation of the world).
