Summary

Foreign workers can now occupy 181 positions in the field of construction, even though they can only fill 68 jobs in the previous regulation (Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 247/2011). In the education sector, the foreigners’ job portion increased to 143 from 77 positions. However, there is also a reduced portion of spots for foreigners, such as in the food-beverage industry.
