Recommendations
| Recommendations | ||
| Type 1: Adapted or additional SPF provisions to complete the SPF and guarantee income security across the life cycle | Type 2: Structural reforms of the social security system | |
| Cross-cutting | Design and pilot a Single Window Service (SWS) for social protection programmes at the local level, which would provide information to potential beneficiaries on guarantees and services, facilitate registration processes, update beneficiaries' databases, facilitate the appeals mechanisms, and improve coordination among programmes. The SWS would contribute to the increase of coverage under antipoverty programmes and social security schemes, particularly among the non-poor informal sector workers, imporve targeting methods and update databases, develop coordination and synergies across programmes | |
| Need for innovative control and monitoring mechanisms such as TWIN system to improve enforcement of social security law and reduce social evasion | ||

| Ensure that the health care package has an adequate level of protection | Build PT Askes and Ministry of Health capacities in actuarial calculations | |
| Include some treatments (haemodialysis, prevention and treatment of HIV-AIDS, MTCT, Syphilis) in the benefit package | Support the implementation of BPJS I | |
| Children | Extend the coverage of PKH programme to not only very poor but also poor households or explore the possibility of a universal child allowance | Improve the supply of health and education services |
| Merge PKH and scholarship for the poor | ||
| Working age | Develop a public employment scheme linked with skills development to increase income security in case of un- or under employment and improve employability of informal economy workers | Conduct a feasibility study for unemployment insurance with links to employment and skills programmes |
| Introduce a maternity benefit for workers in the informal sector | ||
| Support the implementation of BPJS II | ||
| Elderly and disabled | Extend the coverage of existing minimum old age and disability pension schemes through targeted and/or universal programmes | Develop a comprehensive database of individuals in certain target groups such as people with disabilities |
| Design and implement defined benefit pension scheme for workers in the formal sector | ||
| ⇒ Costing exercise using the RAP | ⇒ More comprehensive studies | |
For type 1 recommendations, the ILO was able to calculate the cost of the proposed policy options using a simplified model (the RAP protocol) which gives a first indication of cost projection in Indonesian Rupiah and percentage of GDP. We estimate that the additional SPF provisions would cost between 0.74% and 2.45% of GDP by 2020.
For type 2 recommendations, the ILO is involved in the development of the roadmap for the implementation of BPJS II (with focus on death and work injury benefits), the design and pilot-testing of a Single Window Service in three provinces (NTT, East Java an Maluku), the development of actuarial skills through a fellowship training programme. In the future the ILO could offer support in the implementation of some of the programmes under BPJS 1 and 2 and the design and implementation of an unemployment insurance scheme.
