ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Given the increasing importance of women in the Indonesian labour force, giving the necessary attention to the needs of women workers is efficient since it increases the competitiveness of the Indonesian economy as a whole. It is also normative since - in addition to the moral consideration of not treating human beings as means - it has been mandated in the Preamble of the 1945 State Constitution (UUD 1945) that the purpose of the government is to further the public welfare including that of women. The mandate to promote further the public welfare in general and women in particular is further crystallized in the GBHN (Basic National Policy Guidelines) and Repelita (five-year Development Plan).
