Jokowi's Pre-Employment Card, Solution for The Precariat Class?

Another thing the government must prepare is a clear scheme and database of participants who will get pre-employment cards. This is because there is no clear database on who will be prioritized to obtain the cards[6], given the target audience of this program is only around 2 million participants, while the number of people in the open unemployment category reached 7.05 million per August 2019[7]. If the government does not prepare a clear database for pre-employment card recipients, potential mistargeting will occur. And of course this program cannot be a solution to the problems of the precariat class, which is the precarious young generation that exist now in Indonesia.
