According to a Populix survey, Indonesians harbored various economic concerns in mid-2025. The primary worry revolved around employment.

In June 2025, 54% of respondents feared job layoffs, unemployment, and difficulty finding work.

Other economic issues causing concern included rising corruption cases (49%), increasing living costs (44%), and soaring prices of basic necessities (35%).

Concerns were also raised about the growing trend of online gambling (34%) and escalating healthcare costs (11%).

However, the survey also revealed that 55% of respondents believed Indonesia's economic conditions would improve within the next six months.

"Despite this optimism, anxieties remain regarding employment, justice, and daily survival," wrote Populix in its Consumer Confidence Index 2025 report.

Populix conducted this online survey from June 10-12, 2025, involving 1,100 Indonesian respondents. The majority of respondents were from Java (79%), followed by Sumatra (13%) and other islands (8%).

Respondents comprised 50% men and 50% women. Furthermore, 82% were employed, while 17% were unemployed.
