Local Workers, Should The Government Intervene? The multiplier effects of the investment, either it is positive or negative, must be discussed carefully to find the best solution to resolve the investment’s negative impact. One of the investment’s gifts is that it will provide the job vacancy for the job seekers, and at the same time, will lights the hope for the locals in an economic way. Once the company operated in an area, it is expected that it will increase the livelihood of the company’s surrounding community. Notwithstanding the company social responsibility to participate in elevating the livelihood of the locals, the company must have the main purpose to gain profits. This purpose, unavoidable, introduce the conflicts where the local community has to deal that its member are not eligible to apply in such of company’s vacancy due to their lack of education or skills. In another issue, they also face the threat of exploitation of the company by working in such indigent condition if they were accepted as sweated labours .

Vogelaar took similar stage as Pak, as he highlighted that there are conflicts between foreign firms and their local environment which is primarily political, social and cultural . In overcoming the
Although, in India an untouchable is considered a person of low class, Mr. Friedman defines an untouchable as “those people whose jobs cannot be outsourced (pg.325).” He also goes on to give two categories of jobs that will be considered untouchables and one category that will be considered touchable. They are the following: 1) Special or Specialized jobs, 2) localized and anchored jobs, and 3) old middle jobs. “Special” or “specialized” jobs are those that require skill, have a global market and command global wages, such as singers and basketball players. A “localized” or “anchored” job is one that occurs in a set location. This means that those who obtain these jobs, such as a barber, has knowledge about the location he/she is in, and has personal one on one contact with his/her consumers and etc. These two categories of jobs will boom. On the other hand, “old middle” jobs, such as account payable clerks, are in trouble. Friedman does not believe that these jobs are ready for the competition that will arise in the near future and will be “stranded on
This paper will discuss and react to the constitutional laws that exist today and have progressed throughout the years regarding gender variants and their human rights in the workplace. The overview of acts and occupational differences will mainly be focused on Australia and the United States through comparing and contrasting their specific regulations and the average work gender variants choose based on the individual’s societal views. In reality, gender variants/people of the LBGTQIA committee are affected significantly by discrimination and segregation in the workplace and in which the efforts to promote greater gender diversity among all three countries will be painted throughout the work.
According to AAFC (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 2010) due to its extensive natural resources and geographical location, in the way of several of the world’s most important trading routes, Indonesia represents the Southeast Asia’s largest economy. On a global perspective, Indonesia is the fourth most populated country and has the largest Muslim population, besides being the world’s largest archipelago, with around 17,000 islands. The country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is also showing considerable and stable growth throughout the years and unemployment rates dropped considerably (AAFC, 2011).
Indonesia today has rebuilt its financial stability and has tried to reorganize its fiscal policies since the global Asian monetary crisis. Even though the problems which rise from monetary crisis remain (such as unemployment), the condition of economic development in Indonesia is positively growing up. The total GDP (purchasing power equality) in Indonesia is $827, 4 billions (estimated in 2004) and the GPD per capita is $3,500. These numbers show a good progress sign for standard of developing countries.
Popularly known as the 1987 Constitution, is the constitution or the supreme law of the Republic of the Philippines. It was enacted in 1987, during the administration of President Corazon C. Aquino.[1]
The macroeconomic conditions of Indonesia are moderately challenging. The World Bank (2012) categories Indonesia as a lower middle income country. The CIA World Factbook (2012) notes that the country "still struggles with poverty and unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, corruption, a complex regulatory environment and unequal resource distribution among regions."
Indonesia has been facing worker strikes due to increasing inflation, because of this; investors are pulling out of the country all together. The country has been facing “social unrest” and protests since the government cut fuel subsidies; prices for petrol and diesel (Monaghan, 2014). This is a problem because the government has put so many stipulations on their currency that it is difficult to sell their money and they are not making a profit as a country (Boyle, 2013). The country has
With the presidency of Sukarno, had the unifying struggle in order to just secure the Indonesia's independence; and that was the reason behind that the divisions of the society in Indonesian began to appear with the incorporation of regional differences in terms of customs, religion, the impact of Christianity and Marxism, and fears of the domination of Javanese political. To follow the colonial rule, Japanese occupation as well as the war against the Dutch, the new Indonesia actually suffered from severe poverty, a disastrous economy, low educational and skills levels, and obtained the authoritarian traditions. In addition, the challenges to the authority of the Republic were consisted of the militant Darul Islam who then waged a guerrilla struggle in opposition to the Republic from 1948 – 1962.

Despite Indonesia being a signatory the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the indigenous people say they are not allowed to enjoy its benefits. Several conflicts between businesses and the indigenous are reported monthly. There are some changes that have been felt in the last decade since the state amended the constitution to recognize the indigenous people’s rights. The law also stresses the right of indigenous people to their
The Republic of Indonesia rule makers have created many different regulations to control labor, trade, and business divisions. By having these regulations, companies are held to a higher standard and it evens out the playing field for new and old companies. Indonesia’s labor climate is very open but must follow strict rules. Their rules on payment for different levels of skilled people are highly followed. Just over 7% of workers aren’t in a union. Indonesia allows them to peacefully protest whenever they want to and to have a lot of say in what they are getting as a union. (Export.GOV, 2017). Outside of the workforce there is controversy on energy issues and whether or not to use renewable energy. Changing energy sources has been of
The total labor force of the country currently stands at 60.7 million, employed 58.1 million and unemployed is 2.6 million (BBS, 2013). In the last 10 years, there has been an increase in interest in this labour market. Specially in efforts to try and decipher the links between employment overseas and the development of the families left behind; in order to find the nexus between whether employment of at least one family member overseas results in a reduction in the level of poverty for the families left behind. For millions of youths, the ability to migrate and receive employment overseas has harvested a lot of hope. In the inflated labour market, these youths would otherwise be mere numbers and without any work or income.
Indonesia continues its participation under investment agreements. In this period, Indonesia is less active in signing BITs, but more active in signing multilateral TIPs compare to those in previous era.

Indonesia in the fall of 2014 is in a recessionary phase. The GDP dropped from 6.48 in 2011 to a 5.78 in 2013. In addition to that, unemployment has increased from a 5.31 percent in 2011 to a 6.41 percent in 2013. This recession could be caused in part by the high rate of poverty in Indonesia. Currently about 24% of Indonesia’s population lives under the poverty line. The severity of this issue is reflected in the widening gap between the rich and the poor in Indonesia. There are two potential tools that can be used to pull Indonesia out of a recession: monetary policy is controlled by the bank and fiscal policy is determined by the government.
In a democractic parliament, rules were set and governed regardless of any country in the world. Malaysia itself is also governed by a a set of rules. The rules assigned to a country is called the constituition. Also called the bill of rights, the constituition of rights is a body of basic principles a state is to be governed with.
