Jakarta Governor, Basuki “Ahok” T Purnama is supporting the economy package policy volume IV. In the policy, there is a formula for increase in worker wage. Thus, it does not need to be debated anymore.

I think this is the same. And it does not need debate. Just survey how much worker's decent living needs and calculate its inflation. It aims to determine the province minimum wage (UMP)

“I think this is the same. And it does not need debate. Just survey how much worker's decent living needs and calculate its inflation. It aims to determine the province minimum wage (UMP),” he said, at City Hall, Friday (10/16).

However, Ahok claimed he has set a formula to determine the minimum wage but it still highlights tripartite, among labors, businessmen and government’s representatives.

He continued the increase in UMP should be adjusted with standard cost of living (KHL). From that amount, it can determine workers' KHL.

“Fairest thing is there must be survey for workers who are single and married,” he expressed.

Previously in the policy, the UMP was ascertained increasing each year through inflation calculation and national economy growth. For instance, if the inflation and the economic growth are 5 percent, its wage will increase 10 percent.
