To accomplish this, the APBN has a distribution function that consists of a series of policies to improve community welfare through fair distribution to marginalized communities. The 2024 Social Security budget is estimated to be IDR10.6 trillion.
based on law no. 13/2011, certain marginalized groups can receive social protection and services through social security and sustainable welfare conditions.
