The Effect of Indonesia's National Health Insurance Scheme on Illness-Related Worker Absenteeism

This analysis, conducted by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Health Policy Plus (HP+) project with support from Indonesia's National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (TNP2K), seeks to better understand the pathways through which JKN is affecting the health of workers and productivity in Indonesia's labor market, and contributes to the literature on the impact of scaled-up national health insurance on Indonesia's economy. Results of this study can be used to better refine understanding of the impact of JKN coverage and underscore the case for government support, and inform labor market and social policies at the intersection of health, workforce, and economic development.
