JAKARTA - BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Cilincing Branch Office actively contributes to expanding the coverage of worker protection, especially for non-wage workers (BPU), by participating in the Kalibaru Festival 2025.

By opening a special service booth, this initiative not only provides education about employment social security programs and benefits, but also facilitates direct registration for informal workers.

This activity, which took place at Plaza Kalibaru, Cilincing District, North Jakarta, has become a strategic event for BPJS Ketenagakerjaan to reach workers who may not have been protected so far.

The main focus is the BPU sector, such as street vendors, online motorcycle taxis, or freelancers, who are vulnerable to the risk of work accidents or loss of income.

Head of the Jakarta Cilincing BPJS Employment Branch Office, Rita Mariana, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in building collective awareness.

"Our presence at the Kalibaru 2025 Festival is a real effort to bring social security services closer to the community. Through this booth, we not only educate the benefits of the BPJS Employment program, but also directly help register so that more BPU workers are protected," said Rita Mariana, Wednesday, September 3.

In addition to education and registration, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Cilincing maximizes the role of PERISAI (Indonesian Social Security Movers) as the spearhead in the spread of information.

PERISAI, which consists of trained volunteers, is tasked with delivering direct education and facilitating the registration process for workers in the informal sector.

"PERISAI is the key to our success because they directly interact with the community, building awareness about the importance of social security for a safer future," added Rita Mariana.

Rita hopes that BPJS Ketenagakerjaan's participation at this festival can increase the number of new participants.

"At the same time supporting the government's target of achieving universal coverage of employment social security," he concluded.
