The Indonesian creative economy effectively absorbs female labor. The latest data released by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Creative Economy Agency (Bekraf) in their report 'Creative Economy Workforce,' shows that women are the main players in this industry, accounting for 53.86%. This contrasts sharply with the overall Indonesian workforce, where women constitute 37.16% and men 62.84%.
Women's participation in the creative economy shows an upward trend each year. Over a six-year period, the largest growth in workforce participation occurred in 2011 and 2016, reaching 9%.
Besides absorbing labor, the creative economy industry also provides opportunities for women's empowerment, particularly economically. In 2016, the creative industry contributed 7.44% to Indonesia's total GDP, equivalent to Rp 922.59 trillion. This year, the government aims for the creative industry's contribution to reach Rp 1,100 trillion, with the main sectors being culinary, fashion, and crafts.
