Indonesia's former general and presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto has announced a new program to create job opportunities for over 1.5 million people in the country.
The 'MBG Job Creation Program', as it is known, aims to provide employment opportunities for young Indonesians, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, as part of his presidential campaign promises.
According to Prabowo, the program will not only benefit the individuals who receive job training but also contribute to reducing unemployment rates in Indonesia. The former general has proposed a range of initiatives under this program, including vocational training and apprenticeships for young people, as well as partnerships with private sector companies to provide job opportunities.
"We want to create jobs that can benefit all sectors of society," said Prabowo during a recent public address. "Our target is to reduce unemployment rates among our youth and help them become productive members of the workforce."
Critics have raised concerns about the feasibility of the program, citing Indonesia's already strained economy and high unemployment rates. However, supporters argue that it represents an ambitious effort by Prabowo to tackle a pressing social issue.
Details on how the program will be implemented are still scarce, with many questions remaining unanswered, such as funding mechanisms and partnerships with private sector companies. Nevertheless, this initiative is seen as another key plank in Prabowo's presidential campaign platform, aimed at addressing one of Indonesia's most significant challenges: poverty and unemployment.
