CELIOS Executive Director Bhima Yudhistira Adhinegara gave expert testimony at the Constitutional Court during a judicial review hearing on the Job Creation Law.

Rather than creating jobs and improving welfare, PSN risks deepening inequality and undermining Indonesia’s aspirations for sustainable development.
