According to International Labor Organization (ILO) data, 26.3 percent of workers in Indonesia work more than 49 hours per week. This number of hard-working Indonesians is only surpassed by South Korea (32 percent) and Hong Kong (30.1 percent). Countries in Asia dominate the number of workers exceeding this standard, while Western countries have significantly lower percentages. In America, only the United States has a comparable figure at 16.4 percent, followed by France at 10.1 percent and Germany at 9.6 percent.
Generally, Indonesian law stipulates a 40-hour work week; however, in practice, workers often seek additional work or overtime to increase their income.
