Based on Law No. 13 of 2013 concerning employment, it is explained that Employment is everything related to labor both before, during and after the work period. The regulation is based on the following objectives:
- Empower and utilize the workforce optimally and humanely
- Realizing equal employment opportunities and providing manpower in accordance with national and regional development needs
- Provide protection to workers in realizing prosperity
- Improving the welfare of workers and their families
Article 5 of Law 13/2013 confirms that every worker has the same opportunity to get a job without discrimination. Furthermore, the workforce can be classified into three groups, namely:
a. Educated Workforce
Workers who have expertise in certain or special fields obtained from the field of education. For example: lecturers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, accountants and so on.
b. Trained Workforce
Workers who have expertise in certain or special fields obtained from experience and training. For example: driver, tailor, mechanic and so on.
c. Uneducated and Untrained Workforce
Workers who rely on labor do not require prior education or training. For example: coolies, housemaids, manual laborers and so on.
The above classification encourages regulations related to job training as regulated in Chapter V of Law 13/2013, so that the qualifications of Indonesian workers can be better.

Each form of dispute has a method or procedure that applies and must be followed by both parties, either through negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration or resolved in the Industrial Relations Court.
EMPLOYMENT ISSUES
Employment problems can arise due to several factors such as education, job opportunities and relatively low economic growth. This is experienced by many countries, including Indonesia, because until now there are still many unemployed or more precisely people who cannot work because of the lack of job opportunities.
Three labor problems that often occur in Indonesia:
1. Number of Unemployment
Due to the high population and not followed by sufficient employment opportunities, this problem is the most serious problem in Indonesia. Likewise, the low quality of labor and economic growth are the main factors in the emergence of this problem.
2. Low Employment
It arises because the number of productive workforce is not proportional to the number of jobs provided. This is one of the triggers for the problem of unemployment.
3. Low Labor Quality
Low level of education, both formal and non-formal. The economic capacity of the Indonesian people is low, causing the inability to achieve higher education.
