The Indonesian social security system comprises the provident fund system and social insurance system. Social security in Indonesia covers a small proportion of the population with minimal benefits. With effect from January 1, 2014, a new regime of national social security has been implemented in Indonesia to cover all employees and residents under one healthcare system by 2019, as well as one employment benefits system by 2029. Under the new system, Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) Healthcare (BPJS Kesehatan) will administer healthcare benefits and BPJS Employment (BPJS Ketenagakarjaan) will administer employment benefits, which cover the risks of old, age, death, occupational accidents, and diseases. The employee benefits market in Indonesia is expected to register robust growth, as the country’s government is planning to be one of the world’s six largest global economies by 2030 as part of its long-term strategy.
