On the Market’s Margins brings together 38 essays and op-eds published in major Indonesian outlets and the ILO Newsletter written or co-written by Tauvik Muhamad Soeherman between 2003 and 2026. Covering issues from HIV/AIDS in the workplace to Indonesia's shrinking middle class, Tauvik combines decades of experience with practical insight, critical analysis and constructive proposals to address the challenges facing workers in a changing world of work.

“Tauvik M. Soeherman, a graduate of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, has worked on a wide range of social issues and concerns, as demonstrated by the breadth of essays and op-eds in On the Market’s Margins. In this book, Tauvik thoughtfully discusses key issues regarding labour and employment in Indonesia from many different angles, including economics, international relations, workers' rights, and philosophy. Policymakers and general readers alike will have much to learn from the principled and practical solutions he proposes for Indonesia’s continued growth and development.”
