Head of the DKI Jakarta Population and Civil Registration Agency (Disdukcapil) Budi Awaluddin said that half of the number of newcomers did not have the skills when entering Jakarta. Based on educational background, Budi continued, 75 percent of newcomers who entered Jakarta only had the last education at the high school and equivalent level. "This is what we need to pay close attention to and take a good attitude regarding the trend of migrants in Jakarta for several years. So, we can see that those who come to Jakarta are those whose education is high school and under and half have no skills," said Budi at DKI Jakarta City Hall, Tuesday, February 14. Based on data from the DKI Provincial Government, there has been an increase in the number of newcomers entering Jakarta over the last few years. A total of 113,814 people entered Jakarta in 2020, 139,740 people also entered the capital city in 2021, and as many as 151,752 people in 2022. Dari peningkatan jumlah pendatang baru ini, Pemprov DKI akan menjar dan melakukan pembinaan. Mengingat, masuknya pendatang baru ke Jakarta sempat menjadi sorotan Penjabat (Pj) Gubernur DKI Jakarta Heru Budi Hartono. Heru menilai banyaknya warga pendatuan membawakan pengeluaran daerah dalam APBD DKI. "The anticipation (of newcomers) is that the DKI Jakarta Disdukcapil provides guidance and also outreach to residents so that all those present in Jakarta have orderly population administration," said Budi. The administrative control efforts carried out by the DKI Provincial Government are exemplified by Budi, namely reminding migrants to take care of a domicile certificate which is official evidence of an immigrant living in a certain area. "We have the Kamsa program, Kampung Adminduk which we do to RW-RW. We provide socialization and ball pick-up services to the community so that they are orderly in population administration," said Budi. After the data collection is carried out, the DKI Provincial Government will provide a skills program for migrants in need. This is one of the anticipations of preventing the increasing poverty rate in the capital city. "We are still observing the current phenomena for migrants who come to Jakarta, we are conducting outreach to them, we are conducting guidance to them and we are coordinating with several other SKPDs regarding handling for those who do not have skills," he explained.
