JAKARTA: Labourers have voiced their dissatisfaction with the minimum wage increase for Jakarta in 2026, saying it still falls short of meeting living standards amid rising cost of living in the capital.
Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung announced on Dec 24 that the 2026 provincial minimum wage was set at Rp 5.73 million (S$438), around 6.17 per cent higher compared with the 2025 figure, following negotiations with representatives from labourers and employers.
