JAKARTA, Indonesia The bell rings in a garment factory on the outskirts of the sprawling city, signaling the end of a nine-hour shift. No overtime for me today, says Istiyaroh as she rushes to collect her belongings from the lockers.

Workers gradually flow outside into the steamy late afternoon heat. As the crowd of mostly women grows in size and noise, Istiyaroh (who goes by Istiy for short) jumps into one of the vans taking employees to the distant exit.

Squashed among a dozen others giggling in their colored headscarves, she sums up her day: I double-stitched the shoulders of 80 shirts per hour, she says, relieved but tired. But sometimes its hard to meet the target.

Istiy, 35, is one of the over 2 million garment industry workers in Indonesia, the worlds fourth most-populous country and one of the top 10 garment exporters . Indonesia is less reliant on this industry than other developing southeast Asian countries, like Cambodia and Bangladesh. Yet, some 60 percent of Indonesias garment workers are women.

And it is women who will be mostly affected by what the United Nations International Labour Organization identifies as a looming risk for millions of workers in Asia : automation, robots and artificial intelligence.
