<![CDATA[Ergonomics plays an important role in maintaining workers' health and comfort in daily work activities. Informal sector and micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) workers in Indonesia bear a high burden of musculoskeletal complaints due to non ergonomic work postures and limited access to occupational health programs. This study aimed to map ergonomic interventions for reducing musculoskeletal complaints applied to informal sector and MSME workers in Indonesia through a scoping review approach. The search process used the Population, Concept, Context (PCC) framework through the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Indonesian regional databases, with articles published between 2014 and 2026. The selection and reporting process was carried out using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) method. Results: from 25 identified articles, 5 articles met the criteria and were selected in this review. The five articles discussed interventions on batik craftswomen, garment tailors, traditional metal-casting workers, food processing MSME workers, and garment MSME tailors. Ergonomic interventions applied included ergonomic chairs, participatory ergonomics, and workplace stretching exercise. All studies reported reduced musculoskeletal complaints following intervention, with effect sizes ranging from 24.98% to 48.6%. Conclusion: simple, low-cost ergonomic interventions can be applied to informal sector and MSME workers in Indonesia to reduce musculoskeletal complaints, although available evidence remains dominated by uncontrolled quasi-experimental designs.]]>
