The working population has been growing faster than the population of non-working dependents. This presents a major opportunity for economic growth and poverty reduction, provided that more jobs and better jobs are created to employ a workforce, which will grow by an estimated 20 million workers over the next ten years. Today's policy makers in Indonesia face a strategic challenge in identifying which policies and programs will spur the creation of good jobs while, at the same time, ensuring that workers are better protected from risks threatening their income security. Decisions about labor policies are particularly difficult because they can directly affect the well-being of workers, both inside and outside the formal jobs market, and the firms that are the main engines of job growth. Sound empirical data will help guide the debate around labor reform. The Indonesia jobs report, prepared by the World Bank in cooperation with the Government of Indonesia and local research partners, is the most comprehensive assessment of the country's labor market that has been carried out in the last decade. The report uses the most up-to-date data available to examine the performance of the labor market, changes in the supply of workers, and the effects of labor policies. The findings will help inform future policy directions and contribute towards evidence-based decision making. Stimulating the growth of better jobs requires a multi-pronged approach. This report recommends much needed reforms of labor policies and programs. Equally important, however, are reforms that accelerate job creation by improving infrastructure and the investment climate, alongside reforms that aim at improving the quality of education. Success will depend on working partnerships between the government, employer associations, labor unions and other civil society groups, with the support of Indonesia's think tanks and international development partners. This report helps reinvigorate policy dialogue about job creation and worker security. Learning from experiences and international best practices, Indonesia will be better prepared to navigate a course towards 'win-win' solutions that accelerate the creation of better jobs without sacrificing adequate protection for workers.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTIVE LABORACTIVE LABOR PROGRAMSADULT POPULATIONAFFECTED WORKERSATTRITIONAVERAGE WAGESCASUAL WORKERSCHILD LABORCOLLECTIVE BARGAININGCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCRISESDATA QUALITYDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIC TRANSFORMATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISADVANTAGED WORKERSEARLY DETECTIONEARNINGECONOMIC DEREGULATIONECONOMIC DOWNTURNSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC RECOVERYECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMICSEDUCATED ADULTSELDERLYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT EFFECTSEMPLOYMENT LEVELSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROTECTION LEGISLATIONEMPLOYMENT RATESEMPLOYMENT SHAREEMPLOYMENT SITUATIONEMPLOYMENT STATUSFAMILY EDUCATIONFAMILY INCOMEFINDING JOBSFINDING WORKFIRING COSTSFIRM SIZEFORCED LABORFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL SECTOR WAGESFORMAL SECTOR WORKERSGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEALTH INSURANCEHIGH UNEMPLOYMENTHIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESHIGH WAGEHOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN RESOURCESINCOMEINCOME SECURITYINDUSTRIAL RELATIONINDUSTRIAL RELATIONSINFORMAL SECTORINNOVATIONSINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONJOB CREATIONJOB SEARCHJOB SEARCH ASSISTANCEJOB SEEKERSJOB STATUSJOBLESS GROWTHJOBSLABOR COSTSLABOR DISPUTESLABOR FORCELABOR LAWLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET CONDITIONSLABOR MARKET DEMANDLABOR MARKET FLEXIBILITYLABOR MARKET INDICATORSLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKET PERFORMANCELABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET SEGMENTATIONLABOR MOVEMENTLABOR POLICIESLABOR POLICYLABOR REGULATIONLABOR REGULATIONSLABOR RELATIONSLABOR RESEARCHLABOR UNIONSLABOURLAID-OFF WORKERSLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIFE SKILLSLIFELONG LEARNINGLOCAL EMPLOYERSLOCAL LABOR MARKETMALE WORKERSMANPOWERMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARKET WAGESMATHEMATICSMINIMUM WAGEMINIMUM WAGE HIKESMINIMUM WAGESNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL PLANNATIONAL STRATEGYNUMBER OF WORKERSOCCUPATIONSON-THE-JOB TRAININGPAYING JOBSPHYSICAL NEEDSPOLICY DIALOGUEPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESPONSEPRIMARY LEVELPRIVATE COMPANIESPRIVATE FIRMPRIVATE FIRMSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE TRAININGPRIVATE-PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPSPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAM DESIGNPROTECTING WORKERSPROVIDENT FUNDSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMPUBLIC WORKS PROJECTSPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYQUALITY OF EDUCATIONREAL WAGESRURAL WOMENRURAL WORKERSSAFETYSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSALARIED WORKERSSCHOOL YEARSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOLSSELF-ESTEEMSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE SECTORSERVICE SECTORSSEVERANCE PAYSEVERANCE PAYMENTSEVERANCE PAYMENTSSEXSEX WORKERSSKILL REQUIREMENTSSKILLED WORKFORCESKILLS DEVELOPMENTSMALL BUSINESSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SUPPORTSYSTEM OF PREFERENCESTECHNICAL EDUCATIONTECHNICAL SKILLSTRAINING AGENCIESTRAINING CENTERSTRAINING COURSETRAINING PROGRAMTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING PROVIDERSTRANSPORTATIONUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED WORKERSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCEUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT SYSTEMUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT SYSTEMSUNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITSUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNINTENDED CONSEQUENCEUNION DENSITYUNION MEMBERSHIPUNPAID WORKERSUNSKILLED WORKERSURBAN EMPLOYMENTURBAN WORKERSVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL SCHOOLVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGE COUNCILSWAGE EMPLOYMENTWAGE GAINSWAGE GROWTHWAGE INCREASESWAGE INEQUALITYWAGE POLICIESWAGE PREMIUMWAGE PREMIUMSWAGE SUBSIDIESWORKERWORKER PRODUCTIVITYWORKERSWORKFORCE SKILLSWORKING HOURSWORKING POPULATIONYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG WORKERSYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENTYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATEYOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT RATESReportWorld Bank10.1596/27901
