The Asian Development Bank (ADB) states that Indonesian students potentially face lifetime income losses due to reduced learning opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because many schools closed when the pandemic hit the country.
According to the ADB, the potential lifetime income loss for Indonesian students reaches US$38.5 billion in a moderate scenario. This is equivalent to Rp 556.8 trillion at an exchange rate of Rp 14,446.7/US$.
In an optimistic scenario, Indonesian students potentially face lifetime income losses of US$25.6 billion or Rp 369.8 trillion. Meanwhile, the potential lifetime income loss in a pessimistic scenario reaches US$55.2 billion or Rp 797 trillion.
