<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\"Based on the results of the 2019 IISD (International Institute for Sustainable Development) research, smoking can trigger a potential reduction in the life expectancy of Indonesians by 1.9 years. However, due to air pollution, on average, Indonesian people have the potential to lose 2.5 digits of their life expectancy. It's not finished yet, in big cities, like Jakarta, with air pollution, it can shorten people's life expectancy by up to 5.5 years,\" said the academician of the Driyakara School of Philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Yanuar, the problem of air pollution, which has been getting worse lately, must be handled immediately with policies that are right on target. The policy cannot only be a temporary policy, such as Work From Home (WFH) and the application of '4 in 1', but must be comprehensive by restoring Indonesia's air quality standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding air quality standards, Yanuar said, this is in line with the concept of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which focus on maintaining climate and environmental conditions in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the only country that requires the implementation of SDGs in its country, because in fact it is voluntary in the world, but Indonesia requires it. So, Indonesia should apply the concept of development based on science and innovation. Thus, development will continue to take into account natural conditions so that it does not threaten the growth of our human resources,\" said Yanuar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deputy II of the 2015-2019 Presidential Chief of Staff explained that the government should have concern for matters affecting the growth of human resources. This is because there is already a real threat to the Indonesian nation if it does not improve the quality of its human resources. According to him, the demographic bonus that should be used to support Indonesia in 2045 gold could turn into a disaster or a demographic curse if human development fails to be utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The man who earned his doctorate from the University of Manchester added that many developed countries have made human resource development the key to the revival of their country. He told how Japan was rebuilding its country after it was destroyed by the atomic bomb tragedy that hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The first thing that Emperor Hirohito did as Japan's leader at that time was to ascertain how many teachers survived the disaster, this happened because he realized that the only way for them to rise again was to create good education,\" said Yanuar .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Yanuar explained that the government actually has strategic programs to improve development in the upstream sector related to human resources in the last 10 years. Some of them, namely the BPJS Health program and the stunting alleviation program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"It is important to carry out and optimize human resource development programs to ensure that future generations of Indonesians can be healthier and smarter. Therefore, the government needs to collaborate with various figures and academics to ensure that the program is implemented. PDI Perjuangan should be proud, because Chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri is one of the figures who is keen to voice the eradication of stunting,\" said Yanuar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Yanuar admitted, there are still sectors that need more attention from the next leader, namely in terms of good governance and bureaucracy. \"We have to admit that legal reform, bureaucratic reform, and the quality of our health services still need to improve the quality, because if not the demographic bonus that should be enjoyed by the Indonesian people to achieve the vision of a golden Indonesia, will instead become a disaster or a demographic curse,\" said Yanuar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
