The General Guidelines for the Placement and Empowerment of Potential Older Workers (Tenaga Kerja Lanjut Usia Potensial – TKLUP) were compiled by the Directorate of Special Labour Placement, Directorate General of Labour Placement Development and Expansion of Employment Opportunities, Ministry of Manpower, in collaboration with the Australia–Indonesia Partnership towards an Inclusive Society (INKLUSI). This is part of the effort to realise inclusive and equitable employment in Indonesia.

This document serves as a policy reference and socialisation material to increase understanding of the importance of equal access to work for potential older persons. It also aims to encourage the creation of an age-friendly employment ecosystem through the support of various stakeholders. These guidelines emphasise the principles of inclusivity, non-discrimination, and respect for the diversity of individual capacities within the workforce.

Through these guidelines, it is hoped that regional governments, the business and industrial world, job training institutions, and the wider community can play an active role in expanding decent work opportunities for potential older workers, while simultaneously strengthening their participation in economic and social life with dignity.

This publication was produced by the PEKKA Foundation with the support of the Australia–Indonesia Partnership Towards an Inclusive Society (INKLUSI). The book Voices of Empowered Women: Stories of PEKKA’s Resilience in Leading Social Change shares the experiences of organising the PEKKA Information and Consultation Service Clinics (KLIK), a mobile service that assists women heads of households, poor women, and marginalised groups in remote areas to access basic government services. In collaboration with government and service providers, KLIK PEKKA gathers community aspirations related to service access, social protection, domestic violence reporting, and provides services according to community needs.

This book presents the stories of nineteen women heads of households from grassroots communities who affirm their role as drivers of change. With courage and perseverance, they demonstrate that limitations are not barriers to empowerment. Narratives written directly by PEKKA cadres illustrate their journey in challenging social norms, building solidarity, and strengthening the Union of Women Heads of Households (Serikat Pekka). These stories offer inspiration on how women’s collective strength can foster transformation, amplify voices, and contribute meaningfully to a more inclusive society.
