According to a 2016 report, *Women Entrepreneurs in Indonesia*, produced by the World Bank and Indonesia's National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Indonesia has 55 million people working in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Data from the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor indicates that 26 percent of Indonesia's 85 million women of working age are active entrepreneurs.
The report also states that 36 percent of Indonesian women of working age choose to become entrepreneurs. The majority of these women entrepreneurs operate in the informal or semi-formal sectors. Compared to other countries, the percentage of women choosing entrepreneurship in Indonesia is higher than in Malaysia, China, and India. The report attributes this preference for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises in the informal sector to the difficulties women face in accessing the formal sector.
