Abstract: Realizing decent work is goal number 8 in the SDGs. Employers are required by law to pay their employees a minimum monthly salary in return for work that has been completed or will be completed on their behalf. This research aims to identify the problem of decent work from the employment data of parents of UNPAD 2017 students. We will determine, based on the statistics, whether or not the job comprised decent work, whether or not there is imbalance in the wages, and what kinds of jobs give low and high wages. The conclusions are: (1) Using the 2018 Jakarta minimum wages, with data as many as 4959 Unpad students’ fathers in 2017, there is a decent work problem in the work of fathers because the wages are below the Jakarta minimum wages per month. The number is 465 fathers (9.38%). As much as 90.62% can be said to get decent work. (2) There is an imbalance in wages, which is Rp. 66,486,681.7. This also happens because of differences in work and the burden of responsibilities carried. Different jobs certainly produce different wages. (3) The job of parents of Unpad students in 2017 that provided the largest average wage was the DPR with a figure of Rp. 68,500,000. While the smallest is Laborers with a figure of Rp 2,013,318.3. (4) Unpad provides a solution for parents who have little or even no income by providing scholarships for students, information on scholarships available from external sources, and adjusting their tuition fees according to the economic conditions experienced by students and their parents.
