The demographic bonus has increased the proportion of the working-age population in Indonesia, including college graduates. However, this increase has not been matched by the labor market's ability to provide suitable jobs, giving rise to the phenomenon of overeducation mismatch. Java, as the center of the national economy, has a relatively high percentage of overeducation mismatch among highly educated workers in each province, with the highest percentage in the DKI Jakarta region. This study aims to determine the picture of overeducation mismatch and the factors that influence it in the highly educated workforce in DKI Jakarta in 2025, as well as its tendency value using Sakernas 2025 data. The study used a binary logistic regression analysis method and determined overeducation mismatch with a normative approach based on the Indonesian Standard Occupational Classification (KBJI). This study found that age, working hours, employment contract ownership, education level, education department, training experience, and length of service significantly influence overeducation mismatch.
