JAKARTA - Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Arsjad Rasjid said the Job Creation Law (UU Ciptaker) was an answer to challenges in the business world even though it was still not perfect.

"This (Ciptactor Law) is something that I never thought could happen in Indonesia but the homework is still a lot. So we from KADIN support and say that this is an answer, not perfect, so we need to talk a lot, disturb the ministers a lot," said Arsjad as quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 21.

Arsjad said that the spirit of the Ciptaker Law is to create more entrepreneurs.

Through the growth of entrepreneurs, jobs will be created that will have an impact on reducing poverty.

The Ciptaker Law, he continued, creates investments that will be followed by a large amount of money entering, then increasing employment opportunities, increasing exports which then leads to a decrease in the level of layoffs and better labor and labor income.

Kadin pun pernah melakukan survei mengenai UU Ciptaker dan seluruh pengusaha, bahkan masyarakat, menyambut baik kehadiran regulasi tersebut.

However, people and businessmen themselves can't wait to get the results of the Ciptaker Law.

"Here we also provide encouragement as Kadin to convey to entrepreneurs that this change is not fast, but we accommodate it first, what do we (needs and suggestions) that we will finally give to the government," he said.

However, Arsjad assessed that the success of this omnibus law would not be achieved if human resources were inadequate. So it is very important to synergize between ministries and employers to realize the provision of labor based on demand-oriented.

"From the business world side, we say what skills are needed. But there must be an agreement regarding the next 25 years where the roadmap will go. If we can map from there, we can map what technology is needed, thus we can talk about giving universities to map what research is needed," he explained.
