Abstract

Indonesia is expected to reach its demographic dividend peak by 2035. After this period, the productive-age population will transition into an ageing population, increasing dependency on the working-age group. This demographic shift demands holistic policies to create age-friendly work environments, empower the elderly, and ensure inclusive protection to sustain Indonesia’s economy. By 2050, the population aged 65 and above will reach 56 million, with life expectancy increasing to 79.64 years. In 2023, approximately 53.93% of Indonesia’s elderly population remained employed. Although Presidential Regulation No. 88/2021 addresses the National Elderly Strategy, it requires revision to enhance the empowerment and protection of elderly workers. Learning from other countries, ASEAN nations like Singapore and Malaysia have enacted re-employment laws for workers over 60. At the same time, Japan and South Korea implement re-employment programs, training, and workforce placement for the elderly. To address the ageing population, Indonesia must develop a comprehensive national strategy, including re-employment schemes, skill development, entrepreneurship, social protection, and the silver economy. A five-year roadmap (2025-2029) outlines the strategy’s phased implementation: strengthening policies and public awareness in 2025, program implementation in 2026, expansion of re-employment and entrepreneurship in 2027, silver economy development in 2028, and program sustainability by 2029.

Abstract

This research aims to overcome the challenges of sustainability and suitability of Community Job Training Centers (BLKK) in meeting the needs of a rapidly growing job market. With a focus on diversifying funding sources and strengthening synergies between the government, private sector and community, this research develops an adaptive BLKK sustainability model to improve the quality of human resources relevant to industrial needs. A qualitative approach with case studies analyses BLKKs that have achieved independence, highlighting independent funding, partnerships with the business world, and good governance. The research results identified BLKK's main challenges, including dependence on government funding, the need for partnerships with the business world, and limited resource management. It was found that successful BLKKs have characteristics such as transparent governance, strategic partnerships with the business world, and diversification of funding sources. This research suggests policies that can increase institutional capacity, strengthen collaboration with the private sector, and encourage diverse funding sources to reduce dependence on government funds.

Abstract

The Desmigratif Program is an initiative of the Indonesian government to provide protection and empowerment for Indonesian Migrant Workers (PMI). Based on the evaluation results, the Desmigratif Program has had a positive impact on the welfare of PMI and their families. Several aspects that are the focus of the evaluation include the effectiveness of migration services, the sustainability of productive businesses, involvement in community parenting, and the role of cooperatives and BUMDes in supporting the local economy. The evaluation shows that coordination between actors at the local and central levels is key to the success of the program. However, the evaluation also noted several challenges faced, such as limited human resources and lack of supporting technological infrastructure. The success of the Desmigratif Program is highly dependent on the synergy between local governments, communities, and the private sector. Strong regulatory support, adequate budget allocation, and increased community capacity and participation are key to the sustainability of the program. Routine evaluation and ongoing technical guidance are also important to ensure that the program can continue to grow and provide benefits to retired PMI and their families.

Abstract

The labor inspection system in Indonesia plays a vital role in ensuring compliance with labor standards, protecting workers' rights, and creating a safe and productive work environment. However, its implementation faces numerous challenges, such as the limited number of labor inspectors, ineffective central-regional coordination, and minimal budget allocation. With an actual ratio of 1:57,000 formal workers—far below the ILO standard of 1:20,000—the labor inspection system remains suboptimal. This study aims to analyze the problems within the decentralized inspection system, evaluate the potential of a centralized inspection model, and formulate strategies and a roadmap for implementation. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, including interviews, focus group discussions (FGD), and literature reviews, the study finds that a centralized labor inspection system is more effective in improving inspection standards, resource distribution, and cross-regional coordination. Benchmarking functional roles such as Family Planning Counselors and Mining Inspectors supports this recommendation. Implementation strategies include regulatory revisions, increasing the number of inspectors, improving competencies, and ensuring adequate budget provision through the national budget (APBN). A medium-term roadmap (2025–2029) has been developed to ensure a gradual and sustainable transition.

Abstract

This study addresses the persistent mismatch between sectoral growth and human capital quality in Indonesia. It investigates whether regions experiencing simultaneous economic expansion and improvements in tertiary-educated labor achieve higher wage outcomes. Specifically, it asks: to what extent does the alignment between sectoral development and human capital influence wage growth, and how does training strengthen this effect? Using longitudinal Sakernas data (2012–2022) at the district–sector level and panel regressions with province fixed effects, the analysis assesses wage dynamics based on sectoral shifts, education attainment, and training participation. Findings indicate: (1) only 12.73% of regions are “high–high,” yet they record approximately 74% higher wage levels (around 52% after fixed effects), and (2) education (4–8%) and training (5–7%) individually contribute modest wage gains. Policy implications highlight the need to: (a) integrate human capital strategies with sectoral development planning, and (b) prioritize education and training investments in high-potential sectors to maximize wage outcomes and reduce regional disparities.

Abstract

This study examines post-pandemic gender wage gaps in Indonesia using SAKERNAS data from 2018 to 2023. OLS and RIF-OLS regression results indicate that gender wage gaps widened post-pandemic, with female employees earning 30 percent less than their male counterparts on average, narrowing to 23 percent after controlling for wage-related characteristics. The gap is most pronounced among low-paid workers, where women earned 40 to 50 percent less than men. Decomposition analysis across the wage distribution reveals that the majority of the gap is driven by unexplained factors, reinforcing the persistence of the "sticky floor" and "glass ceiling" effects, indicative of on going gender discrimination in the labor market. While factors such as lower work experience, tenure, and working hours contributed to the gap, women's higher educational attainment, increased formal sector participation, access to training, and representation in white-collar jobs helped mitigate it.

Abstract

The rapid growth of Indonesia’s digital workforce has been accompanied by increasingly symbolic dynamics in the labor market, especially in how language shapes perceptions of job value. This study analyzes how employers use language in job advertisements to construct symbolic hierarchies and maintain dominance, particularly in the digital marketing sector. Using a descriptive quantitative approach and semantic network analysis, 987 job listings containing the keyword “digital marketing” were collected from Jobstreet over a one-month period and analyzed through bipartite (job title–requirement) and monopartite (job title–job title) networks. The results show that English-dominant job vacancies are closely associated with senior-labeled positions and higher salary offers, while Indonesian appears more frequently in operational roles with lower pay. However, symbolic elevation through titles such as “Manager” or “Specialist” often fails to correspond with actual compensation, and positions requiring many skills are frequently framed with low-status labels such as “Intern” or “Remote,” indicating the use of language to normalize job status while obscuring workload imbalances. Salary information is also often undisclosed, limiting bargaining power and weakening transparency. Additional descriptive findings indicate a geographical concentration of high-value jobs in Jakarta, where English proficiency is more frequently required and median wages are notably higher. Overall, this study demonstrates how recruitment language operates as a form of linguistic hegemony—normalizing inequality by framing structurally similar jobs as symbolically distinct—and highlights the need for stronger regulation and public awareness regarding fair compensation and transparent hiring practices in Indonesia’s digital labor market.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the fourth most populous country in the world, has great human resource potential to drive economic growth. Based on BPS data, around 69.5% of Indonesia's population is of productive age, which also increases the number of workforce every year. However, limitations in providing formal employment can cause some of the workforce, including Gen Z, to be absorbed into the informal sector. Although the informal sector has continued to grow in recent years, this sector is still faced with a number of problems, such as low wages, minimal social protection, and the dominance of low-educated workers. This study focuses on the period 2021–2023, namely the post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery period marked by the acceleration of digitalization in the world of work. The purpose of this study is to analyze the variables that influence the percentage of Gen Z informal workers in Indonesia. Using data sourced from BPS and the Ministry of Manpower, the FEM SUR method was produced on a panel of data from 34 provinces. It was found that the variables of average length of schooling, income, internet, certified training, provincial minimum wage, and GRDP per capita had a significant negative influence on the percentage of informal workers of Gen Z.. This finding suggests that improving the quality of education and economic support can drive Gen Z towards more formal and protected jobs.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many individuals to lose their jobs and face economic uncertainty, prompting a shift toward more flexible work arrangements such as gig worker work—freelance jobs based on digital platforms without formal employment contracts. To address the employment impact, the government launched the Kartu Prakerja Program as an effort to enhance skills and support labor adaptation. This study aims to analyze the general characteristics of Kartu Prakerja recipients and examine its impact on individuals’ decisions to become gig workers, as well as its effect on their earnings. The data used in this study come from the August 2024 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) by BPS-Statistics Indonesia, employing the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to reduce potential estimation bias and the Tobit model to account for censored earnings data. The findings reveal that the Kartu Prakerja Program increases the likelihood of individuals becoming gig workers but reduces their earnings. These results suggest that, although the program effectively facilitates transitions into the digital sector, further evaluation is necessary to ensure its benefits are distributed more evenly, particularly in supporting skill development and earnings growth among gig workers.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has driven significant transformations in the labor market, marked by the emergence of the gig economy. While offering flexibility, gig workers is often accompanied by legal uncertainties and a lack of social protection, raising concerns about worker welfare. This study aims to identify the factors influencing gig workers' wages in Indonesia from economic, social, and digital perspectives. The analysis uses panel data from 34 provinces over the 2018–2023 period, sourced from BPS. The analytical method employed is the fixed effect model, corrected using the seemingly unrelated regression approach to address issues of heteroskedasticity and inter-regional correlation. The results show that inflation, human development index, open unemployment rate, ICT readiness, and ICT intensity significantly affect gig workers’ wages. ICT readiness has a positive impact, whereas the ICT intensity has a negative effect on wages. Meanwhile, ICT skills do not show a significant influence. This study highlights the need for inclusive digital policies and strengthened worker bargaining power to build a sustainable gig economy ecosystem.
