[JAKARTA] Indonesia Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati said on Tuesday the government aims to finalise a draft to labour law revision this year and hand over a bill to parliament by January as it seeks to reform the labour market.
Ms Indrawati said the current law's terms for hiring and firing employees are too rigid and make it hard for people entering the labour force to secure jobs.
