JAKARTA - The government through the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) informs that there will be no increase in drinking wages in 2022 in four different provinces, namely South Sumatra, South Sulawesi, West Sulawesi, and North Sulawesi.
The Director-General of Industrial Relations and Social Security at the Ministry of Manpower, Indah Anggoro Putri, said that the elimination of worker income growth for next year in the four regions was due to the fact that in 2021 the wage value was considered to be higher.
"This makes wages in 2022 the same as wages in 2021," she said at a seminar organized by the Ministry of Manpower, quoted on Tuesday, November 16.
According to Indah, if the wage increase continues until next year, local business actors will experience a bad situation.

"Wages in the four provinces are already above the minimum limit, if they are raised again they will soar and that's not good," she said.
The amount of wages in the area in question is IDR 3.14 million in South Sumatra, IDR 3.31 million in North Sulawesi, IDR 3.16 million in South Sulawesi, and IDR 2.67 million in West Sulawesi.
Meanwhile, other provinces outside the four regions are projected to experience an increase of 1.09 percent from this year's value. For information, this level is very far from the demands of some unions who want a 10 percent wage growth.
The highest provincial minimum wage (UMP) is still found in DKI Jakarta with IDR 4.4 million and the lowest in Central Java at IDR 1.8 million.
