An Indonesian Starbikes vendor is carrying a motorcycle-mounted instant coffee maker in the business district during the holy month of Ramadan in Jakarta, Indonesia, on March 27, 2024. The government is hoping that this year's Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr celebrations will bring increased economic growth amidst global conditions full of uncertainty. They are expecting this after seeing that people's consumption values are increasing drastically ahead of Eid. This increase aligns with the distribution of holiday allowances or THR that private workers and state civil servants have received. In fact, the THR for government employees has been extended to retirees and heirs of pension recipients, which boosts people's purchasing power and has the potential to encourage national economic progress.

Thousands of people are demonstrating in Toulouse, France, on January 20, 2023, against the 'Darmamin' law proposed by the French Ministry of Interior. The law aims to drastically limit or even stop state medical aid, social security, and social benefits to refugees or migrants in France. Many are opposing this law for various reasons. University presidents and professors argue that the law contradicts the values of the French Republic and the long-standing tradition of French universities being open to the world. They are concerned that international students will face higher fees than French students and a 'bail of return.' Medical workers oppose the elimination of state medical aid, believing it is better to treat illnesses before they become too severe or expensive to cure. Entrepreneurs also express opposition, citing their need for this workforce for low-paid or seasonal jobs. Teachers are against the law because it would make knowledge of the French language mandatory, and they argue that there are insufficient resources to teach French to newcomers, including children. The Constitutional Council is set to deliver its opinion on the constitutionality of the law on January 25th.
