EVENT RECAP – Student Participation in National Workshop on Social Protection

On June 24–25, 2025, undergraduate students from the Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FEB UGM) participated in the national workshop entitled “Towards a Comprehensive Social Protection Transformation in Indonesia” held at the Morrissey Hotel, Central Jakarta.

Organized by the ILO in collaboration with national stakeholders, this two-day forum brought together representatives from government agencies, workers’ and employers’ organizations, and international partners. The workshop aimed to evaluate Indonesia’s readiness in aligning its social protection system with ILO Convention No. 102 of 1952 (C102) on Minimum Standards of Social Security.

Through a series of plenary and discussion sessions, participants addressed critical issues including structural labor shifts, limited coverage of key benefits (such as maternity and unemployment), and integration challenges across existing schemes. Policy recommendations focused on reforming the legal foundation of SJSN, expanding inclusion for informal workers, and harmonizing the system with international standards.

Representing FEB UGM, Ilham Ardani (IE 2023) and Bangkit Kristyawan (IE 2023), actively supported the implementation of the event and contributed to the overall success of the workshop. This participation reflects FEB UGM’s continued efforts to nurture future economists who engage with real-world policy challenges and global development agendas.
