| Summary: | This study is motivated by the lack of
demand-side jobs study in Indonesia. Workers do not create
jobs; they only fill job openings. However, most of the jobs
studies in Indonesia are focused on the supply side of jobs
(workers), including skills development, workers protection
and unemployment insurance, as well as international
migration. To gain insights into the job-creation side of
the puzzle, this study proposes to explore the demand side
of jobs (employers or firms). Specifically, it aims to
contribute to the Indonesia Jobs Strategy by providing new
(and perhaps the only) evidence on the demand side of jobs
in Indonesia. This report is not exhaustive of all demand
side of jobs. It is part of the bigger report on demand-side
jobs, which will include the macroeconomic analysis (growth
and productivity decomposition, projected sectoral
employment growth, etc.), HH enterprises (including those in
the agriculture sector), and the emerging economic sectors
such as the digital economy. |
