Jakarta’s Democratic-Perindo faction in the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) has cautioned the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government against solely focusing on positive macroeconomic achievements. The legislators expressed concern that economic growth may mask underlying issues of unemployment and hidden poverty within the capital city. They argue that a comprehensive assessment of socio-economic conditions is crucial, going beyond headline economic figures. The warning suggests a need for policies addressing income inequality and vulnerable populations. Lawmakers emphasized the importance of understanding the lived experiences of Jakarta’s residents, particularly those not benefiting from the overall economic progress. This call for attention aims to ensure inclusive growth and prevent a widening gap between the prosperous and those left behind. The DPRD faction urges the government to proactively address these potential social challenges.
