Director of Labor Relations and Wages at the Ministry of Manpower, Dinar Titus Jogaswitani,

said his ministry was still waiting for the latest data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) regarding the variables needed to determine the provincial minimum wage (UMP). "If we look at the current conditions, especially due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, it can be seen that there is a significant impact on the economy in Indonesia," he said in a written message. . He ensured that the data presented by the statistical authority would describe the current real situation of economic growth and inflation. "The determination of the minimum wage in 2022 is predicted to increase in the majority, although it has not been able to meet the expectations of the parties. This must be appreciated as a step forward considering that we are still recovering from the effects of Covid-19," he said. The National Wage Council (Depenas) and the National Tripartite Cooperation Institute (LKS Tripnas) have held a meeting on 21-22 October 2021 in Jakarta. The meeting agreed to encourage the determination of the UMP in accordance with the provisions of Government Regulation no. 36/2021 on Wages. "For parties who are not satisfied, they can use a lawsuit mechanism in accordance with the provisions of the legislation," he said. On the other hand, the percentage increase in the minimum wage is potentially lower than the previous year, in line with the implementation of a new calculation method for calculating the minimum wage. Secretary General of the All-Indonesian Workers Organization (OPSI) Timboel Siregar explained that the determination of the 2022 minimum wage will refer to PP. 36/2021 in lieu of PP No. 78/2015.

Human negligence is a major contributor to work accidents, including in health services.

Ensuring that the chance of negligence is maintained at zero percent, Eka Hospital has implemented the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system for more than a decade. A study released by Health Affairs magazine in 2008 showed that the value of losses arising from medical errors in the United States (US) was valued at US $ 17.1 billion (Rp 242.7 trillion) per year. Other estimates have even led to a projection of US$ 29 billion. Two years later, a US Department of Health survey showed that at least one in seven patients in the US had experienced a medical error. The main trigger? Human error factors such as doctors' fatigue in carrying out their duties, as seen from the results of the Mayo Clinics Proceedings survey. This encourages the importance of using technology to help overcome efficient workloads related to customer service, such as reading medical records, diagnosis, administering medication, to avoidable allergies. One of the hospitals in Indonesia that encourages the use of technology in treating patients is Eka Hospital. The hospital, which was established in 2008 since its first year of existence, has implemented a comprehensive and integrated Electronic Medical Record (EMR) with all medical and non-medical departments.

Many young people who started work in the last 18 months have never spent their time working in an office.

Working remotely or from home, work from home (WFH), is indeed much more informal. Also more casual. Many job seekers, especially 2020 graduates, are leaving school and entering a chaotic world, mainly because job opportunities are limited. Indeed, with the easing of activity restrictions related to the Covid-19 pandemic in many places, finding work has become a little easier. However, the working situation is still far from normal. Many young workers say that one of the most important aspects of working patterns during the pandemic is that they lose the office atmosphere. Moreover, when they realize that their "office space" is a bedroom wall, which may be box-shaped, and has been their office for almost the last two years. They wish to have more opportunities in daily social interactions with their peers, both to build friendships and to get input from mentors or seniors. Some company management is aware that there is a need to help their employees, especially new employees, adapt to work in abnormal situations in order to feel accepted. The management of Trevelino/Keller, a marketing company in Atlanta, for example, have a ritual they call “Spotify at 9”—because it's at 9 a.m. On that occasion, they all played the same song, then discussed it on Slack, a special chat platform. They also run book clubs and watch TED Talks virtually. However, Suneet Dua, Chief Product Officer at accounting giant PwC U.S., expects the impact of the current situation to be positive. Positive in the sense that this pandemic situation builds resilience and adaptability in young workers.

We need to stop underestimating and blaming ourselves for every failure that occurs.

It won't help anything or turn a failed thing into a success. No! at all no. So, what we need to do is celebrate every achievement that we achieve, no matter no matter how small the achievement. Celebrating achievements doesn't have to be expensive how come. For example, looking in the mirror and praising ourselves, buying ice cream that we like, watching dramas favorite things we like for 3 hours, or other things that make us happier and motivated.

At the beginning of the article, we said that if the reality of life that we have is not suitable with our purpose in life, does not mean our world is over.

There are many things we can still do do to pursue existing life goals, or at least to stay motivated in pursue other life goals. There is one commendable action that we can do when we have not been able to reach our life goals. What's that? Helping others to achieve their life goals. Don't have to help them in a way luxurious and expensive, just in a simple way. For example, providing used books that are still feasible and useful for street children and build a reading garden for them. In this simple way, we can help our brothers and sisters the less fortunate to increase their knowledge and entertain them. With this way, we will find happiness in ways that may seem simple, but are actually have great meaning to other people. Noble actions like these will make us feel fulfilled and excited again to pursue other life goals that have not been achieved.

Failure is often defined as a life goal that cannot be fully achieved. When what we want is a "motorcycle" but what we get is a "bike", so we often call it a failure.

But hey! Aren't bicycles useful for us too? Again Also, our life does have dimensions of failure and dimensions of success. That is, there are times when our hard work has not yielded anything, and there are times when we work hard we have finally brought us to a very satisfactory result, which we can call a success and in harmony with our life goals. Calm down, be patient and keep moving forward back to reach our life goals. And, surrender and leave everything to fate. Because Life consists of dimensions of failure and success.

PT Bio Farma expects additional Covid-19 vaccines to meet the needs of 70% of Indonesia's population to arrive in the third quarter of 2021.

Spokesman and Corporate Secretary of PT Bio Farma (Persero) Bambang Heriyanto said the company is seeking additional vaccines from various schemes. From the multilateral scheme, according to him, a vaccine is sought from the WHO Covax/GAVI agency. "Meanwhile, bilaterally, additional vaccines are sought from Astrazeneca, Novavax, and Sinopharm for the Mutual Cooperation Vaccination program," he said, in total Indonesia has received around 76 million Covid-19 vaccine doses from three manufacturers, namely Sinovac and Sinopharm from China, and Astrazeneca from the UK. From 81.5 million bulk doses of Sinovac, he continued, 65.5 million doses of the finished vaccine will be processed, then 6.4 million doses of Astrazeneca vaccine, 1 million doses of Sinopharm, and 3 million doses of Coronavac. In other words, Indonesia already has nearly 76 million doses of vaccine. This ensures that the company's Covid-19 vaccine supply is sufficient to realize the government's target in the national vaccination program. According to the latest data from the Covid-19 Task Force, only 18 million Indonesians have received the Covid-19 vaccine. This figure is still far from the target set by the government in early January 2021. Until early 2022, the government targets to vaccinate 181.6 million or 70% of the population.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) Arifin Tasrif revealed a number of long-term strategies in the energy sector to be able to achieve the target of carbon neutral or net zero emission (free of carbon emissions) by 2060.

"In the energy sector, we are targeting to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 or faster with international assistance with a number of strategies. First, through the development of massive new and renewable energy (EBT)," said Arifin in a webinar entitled "Indonesia-Norway Investment Opportunities in Hydro and Solar Energy in Indonesia" organized by the Indonesian Embassy in Oslo, Monday. EBT development includes solar panels, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydropower, marine, hydrogen, as well as Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Another strategy is to reduce the utilization of fossil energy sources by "co-firing" biomass and retiring steam power plants (PLTU) and gas and steam power plants (PLTGU). "The last PLTU will be terminated in 2058 and the PLTGU in 2054," he said. During that period, it was noted that no new PLTU was allowed, unless it already had a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) or was under construction.

Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the Deposit Insurance Corporation (LPS) Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa

assesses the importance of strengthening regulations and supervision of financial technology or fintech to protect national consumers. He said the accelerated growth of the fintech industry resulted in a disruption to the pattern of public credit or loans. If previously people chose to borrow from banks, then with the existence of fintech, everyone can get loans more easily from online platforms. "To protect the interests of consumers, a strong regulatory and supervisory approach is needed, such as using Regulatory Technology (RegTech)," he said. "Rather than a guarantee program that requires several prerequisites to reduce potential risks," he added. He explained, Regtech is one way to anticipate fintech violations by utilizing data-based technology or data bases, artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence to blockchain. Thus, supervision of governance, transactions, compliance to reporting obligations can be faster and easier. Several banks in Indonesia are said to have upgraded their digital platforms to improve user experience and customer loyalty, while increasing their efficiency.

Global capital markets moved varied in early trading. Two main sentiments that characterize stock trading globally,

namely the agreement on the minimum tax limit for global corporations and comments by the United States Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rate. Tech giants on Wall Street were down in the session before trading began. As announced, the Group of Seven (G-7) countries reached an agreement on the minimum tax limit for global corporations. Multinational companies must pay a minimum tax of 15 percent to the country of origin and the country where their business units operate. G-7 member countries include the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. The US government continues its efforts to continue its economic recovery plans. Yellen told Bloomberg News that President Joe Biden must press ahead with his $4 trillion recovery plan for the country. Even if the recovery plan triggers inflation and leads to the possibility of raising the benchmark interest rate. Any price hike due to Biden's grand plan to revitalize the US economy would be temporary and higher interest rates would actually be positive.

There are three tariff options for this basic need. First, the general VAT rate proposed by the government is 12%.

Second, a low tariff is imposed in accordance with the multi-tariff scheme formulated by the fiscal authority, namely 5%, which is legalized through the issuance of a Government Regulation (PP). Third, using the Final VAT rate proposed by the government of 1%. So far, most of the basic necessities needed by the community are not subject to VAT. These goods include rice, grain, corn, sago, soybeans, salt, meat, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables. This provision is contained in Law no. 42/2009 concerning the Third Amendment to Law no. 8/1983 concerning Value Added Tax on Goods and Services and Sales Tax on Luxury Goods. Director of the Center of Economic and Law Studies Bhima Yudhistira assesses that the implementation of VAT for basic needs that is not balanced with social assistance will increase the poverty rate. This is because food supplies account for 73.8% of the total component of the poverty line. “The sensitivity of food prices to the number of poor people needs to be observed. Purchasing power can immediately drop and is counterproductive to efforts to reduce poverty during the pandemic," he said. Another risk that also needs to be considered by the government in formulating this policy is an uncontrolled spike in basic needs inflation. “The impact is a risk of increasing basic needs inflation. Basic goods that were previously excluded from VAT objects are then subject to VAT, the price will increase," he said.
