From a public policy perspective, the program reflects a serious commitment of President Prabowo's government to improve Indonesian human resource, health, welfare and productivity. Economically, the program not only has a great potential to encourage the increase of productivity of Indonesian, but also presents some serious challenges such as financing and fiscal sustainability. This research was conducted using the literature review method. This method is a scientific research method where research data is obtained from various reading sources such as books, journals, scientific articles, etc. The method helps researcher to examine various previous research results which are relevant and related to the research topic being worked on.
