History

Early Independence

The first Minister of Social Affairs in the early days of independence was entrusted to Iwa Kusuma Sumantri. At that time, there were approximately 30 employees for the Labor and Social Affairs Departments. Almost all of these employees lacks in knowledge and experience in the labor and social fields. Initially, the Ministry of Social Affairs office was located at Jalan Cemara no. 5 Jakarta, but when the capital city of the Indonesian Republic was moved to Yogyakarta, on January 10, 1946, the Ministry of Social Affairs moved their headquarter to the seminary building on Jl. Code Yogyakarta. Then when the Indonesian Government moved its capital back to Jakarta, the office of the Ministry of Social Affairs was re-established at Jalan Ir. Juanda 36, Central Jakarta, and has experienced a change of location again to Jalan Salemba Raya 28 Central Jakarta until now.[5]

Period of Dissolution (Liquidation)

During the presidential reign of Abdurrahman Wahid, the Ministry of Social Affairs and the Ministry of Information were formally dissolved. At that time President Abdurrahman Wahid had the idea that social welfare services were sufficient for the community in Indonesia. However, the situation said differently. Unexpectedly, various social welfare problems appeared, such as natural disasters, social disasters, as well as a surge in the population of the homeless and neglected children in Indonesia. As a result, former high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Social Affairs at that time initiated the formation of an agency that is responsible directly under the President, and thus, the National Social Welfare Agency (BKSN) was formed.[6]

Incorporation Period

After the formation of the National Social Welfare Agency (BKSN), problem was not immediately resolved. Instead, a complete shortage of officers and the BKSN authority happened due to the imbalance of the population and social problems. With such considerations, in the National Unity Cabinet, the Ministry of Social Affairs was re-established, but with a merging with the Ministry of Health. Its nomenclature is the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. The merging of those two ministry also does not provide an adequate solution to the social welfare problems, in which the social problems has become increasingly complex. Then, during the Gotong Royong Cabinet period, the Ministry of Social Affairs was re-functioned to carry out development tasks in the field of social welfare.[7]
