Abstract

To survive, people are encouraged to make their income by working. Therefore, workers/laborers expect an increase in their wages to improve their living standards. It is a common phenomenon, as happened in Lumajang District. As the government had issued Government Regulation No. 78/2015 concerning the Wages, in addition to Manpower and Transmigration Ministerial Decree No. PER.17/MEN/VIII/2005 concerning the Components and Implementation of Achievement Scale on Decent Living Standards, East Java Government followed up the regulation with the issuance of Gubernatorial Decree concerning the Regional Minimum Wage (RMW) based on Decent Living Standards (DLS) in Lumajang District. Since the enactment of those regulations, Lumajang District Wage Board has recorded the increase in the value and percentage of RMW. It proved the positive impact of the issuance of Government Regulation No. 78/2015 to the determination of RMW and DLS, in addition to people’s purchasing power.
