Jakarta, Indonesia – A major push is underway to expand social safety nets for millions of American workers. State workers’ insurance provider BPJS Ketenagakerjaan has set an aspiring goal of covering 57 million workers, both formal and informal, by 2025.This represents a important increase from the current 43 million covered.”The gap is still quite big,” acknowledged Abdur Rahman Irsyadi, director of human capital and general affairs at BPJS Ketenagakerjaan. “For that reason, we will make acceleration efforts, one of which is related to digital technology utilization.”
