A country will never be free of the
problems associated with its citizens. Especially in the country that has such
a high population as Indonesia. Issues of employment, unemployment, and poverty
Indonesia has been the subject of this nation and requires immediate treatment so
as not to stand in the twisted and Indonesia to become more advanced Mengara. Indonesia
actually had a favorite place for entrepreneurs from abroad to build their
businesses here. One of some reasons why Indonesia targeted by foreign
entrepreneurs because labor cost in Indonesia is cheap.
Labor is one of some factors of production in a company.
Labor has an important role in a company because labor is the main factor so
without labor the company wouldn’t produce anything and there wouldn’t be any production
process. Labor has an effect to the economy of country, especially in
Indonesia.
There are many people in Indonesia work as a labor. Work
as a labor makes them to get higher salary. Although the minimum salary in
Indonesia still lesser than International’s minimum salary but it is better
than they must work as a farmer because the goverment did not protect the price
of vegetables and fruits and the consumer often choose import product than
local product. Nowadays, price range between local product and import is not
too much. That’s why many people want to be a labor. They want to be a labor
because they have some problems, the
problems are they have no job, they want to have a better life, and many
things.
To be a labor is
not as easy as we thought. Every company
has requirement to recruit the labor, for example : a company want to
hire a labor and they anounced that everyone who want to be a labor, at least
they must graduated from senior high school. Alhtough they graduated from
senior high school, they must have ability to do something even though before
the labor is ready to work, the labor would
be given a training by the company so after that training he/she could operate
the machine or make a product by their hand. The quality of product depends on
the labor.
All of product from the company depends on labor works.
They take the control of production and the the final result of the product
affect the product in the market. There are some factors that can make public
give their attention to the product and and buy the product .To make a product or goods we need source and Indonesia
has many sources that’s why there are many investors came to Indonesia because
Indonesia has everything to make a good. The investors need labor to make their
product. Although the most of investors are big company they are still hiring
Indonesian. Quality of Indonesian’s labor is not as bad as we looked. Work as a
labor helps their economy become better than before. The requirement’s standard for labor in Indonesia
is not as much as another countries. The most important thing if they want to
be a labor is they can read well and understand how to do something that needed
by company.
As we know, some factors directly or indirectly affect
the performance, living standard, eduction of labor, and the quality of
labor. Indonesia has 240 million citizen
and there are many human resources that can do anything. Statistic shows that
the most of Indonesian people make their living to work as a labor. Labors are
workers that are hired by the company in which they have no control to the
company in other words they do orders
according to their superiors. This phenomenon occurs since the colonial’s era.
As we know, Indonesia has long been applying manual
labor. Manual labor is a work in which to produce goods by their hand or
usually called hand-made production. Although hand-made product is not as fast
as machine product, but hand-made product usually more cared because the finishing of that
product conducted by direct observation.
The most of countries in this world like hand-made product from
Indonesia. It can help to make economy of Indonesia become better than before.
Quality of the products produced by the hands of Indonesian workers well
above that produced by the hands of workers in China, Cambodia, Vietnam.
That is why when an investor Indonesia or other
multinational companies spread its wings into these countries, brings with Indonesian forces to
train and pass on work to the
advantage of quality workers in those
countries.
On the other hand, Indonesia is a country which make
their citizen’s salary is below Filipina, China, Thailand and Malaysia and it
has an effect to the labor. Sell cheap labor amid an increasingly fierce global
competition and the entry of Indonesia as a member of the G-20 is way too
primitive and wounded national pride. Moreover, the arrival of foreign
investors to Indonesia foremost based on geographic considerations Indonesia
are very strategic to reach regional markets in Asia which now more powerful
and power of the Indonesian domestic market more lucrative.
Low wages force workers to work overtime.
Research AKATIGA with ILO late last year found the garment workers in the bonded
area will be obtained Rp.2,500,000 per month if they work 12-16 hours a day. Working
hours as long as it will impact negatively on productivity due to less time to
reproduce the energy for tomorrow. If low
wages maintained it will only be another disincentive for investors.
Both of advantages and disadvantages
have effect to the economy of Indonesia.
On the one hand, Indonesia will get many investors and it will make the income
of Indonesia will be higher. It is not
easy to offer the investors with salary of labor which below of the other countries because they have to
think about labor’s life. On the other hand, if
goverment of Indonesia sets the
salary of labor above the average it will make the investors to not to invest
their company in Indonesia and it will reduce the labor productivity because
labor is a man that need money, they need rest and they need to make their life
better.
To overcome this, labor must have
respect in every problem that they face on. They must make a revolution for
them because if they just let the company to controlled them and it will affect
not only to the company, but also it will affect the labor productivity.
When labors have respect to their
problem, it is not only about their problem, but also it is goverment problem.
Goverment must give their attention to labor’s request because labor will help
to grow the Indonesian’s economy because without the labor, the investor did
not want to make their company in Indonesia. Indonesian’s labors have great
quality and it has been recognized by other country.
Indonesia is the one of greatest
country in this world and it has a potential to be the big 10 in economic
sector. If Indonesia want to be the big 10 and it depends on the labor. We have
quality labor and they must get something more than now if we want to be the
best one.
