Job opening is a serious matter, because since the pandemic 8 months ago, many people have become unemployed. Though this can add to new social problems. To prevent chaos, the Job Creation Law was present, so that new jobs were opened. So that many people can be free from unemployment status.

When it was first inaugurated, in October 2020, many people were shocked by the Job Creation Law. Because this is the first time Indonesia has a sapujagat law that addresses almost all problems, from the economic, investment, to employment sectors. Apart from overcoming state financial problems, this law can also accelerate job creation.

Yenny Widianty, an academic at the Indonesian Institute of Technology, stated that the Job Creation Law is needed to accelerate job creation. This law is good because it removes regulatory barriers, thereby accelerating the opening of new job vacancies.

In the Job Creation Law, the bureaucracy is simplified so that it will facilitate the steps of entrepreneurs. First, permits are changed to be risk-based: high, medium and low. High risk business means businesses that exploit natural resources, for example mining coal, copper, silver, and other agricultural products

Meanwhile, medium risk businesses are businesses whose indicators are from the technology used, environmental impact analysis, production capacity, land area worked on, and others. Medium risk businesses are divided into 2: medium to low, for example the nature tourism business and lodging management. Also medium to high, for example the machinery and construction industries.

The UMKM business falls into the low risk category. Because it is considered not to pollute the environment and the area of ​​land used is only a little. For example, small shops, home bakery businesses , small convection with no more than 10 employees, and others.

To get a license, you only need an NIB (business license number), and you don’t have to take care of an expensive HO permit. In the Job Creation Law, making NIB makes it easier for young entrepreneurs. They only need to fill out a registration form and attach a photocopy of their KTP, NPWP, and other important documents.

Licensing takes only a few steps, and can be done via offline (at the official office) or via online. When an entrepreneur gets permission easily, he can grow his business without being hindered by a dizzying bureaucracy. Because it is no secret, when we take care of a permit, we have to pay high fees plus waiting for months.

When the business grows after obtaining a license, it can expand its wings and add business branches. Automatically will speed up the opening of new job vacancies, because he needs more employees. This is what Yenny refers to as the excess of the Job Creation Law, which can reduce the number of unemployed.

The large number of unemployed becomes a serious social problem, because when too many do not have a job, it can trigger crime. Because for the sake of a bite of rice, those who have dark eyes can pickpockets and gold jewelry. The unlawful path was chosen, because it was deadlocked, where else would we look for lawful work.

If the Job Creation Law is implemented in a comprehensive manner, the number of unemployed will drastically decrease. They can be relieved to get a job, and are no longer tempted to sin, when they are confused because they don’t have any rice. People can live safely, without fear of having to leave the house.

The Job Creation Law proves once again that it not only helps small businesses, but also unemployed people. Because thanks to this law, many jobs have been opened, as a positive domino effect of facilitating MSME business. Small businessmen can easily get business licenses and expand their business, and open new job vacancies.
