04.05.03.02. Provisions which aim to end discrimination against people with dementia | Indonesia

17 Apr 2022

There is no specific provision for people with dementia. However, Law No. 8/2016 protects the rights of people living with disability to be free from discrimination, including in the workplace. The regulation ensures the rights of people with disabilities, including non-discrimination in the labour market (e.g., the right to have the same job and salary as people without disability and to receive the required support to work optimally to avoid losing their job due to their disability) (UU No. 8/2016 Tentang Penyandang Disabilitas (Law No. 8/2016 on People with Disability), 2016).
