Statistics Indonesia (BPS) reported that Indonesia's LFPR was 93.74% in February 2021, a slight increase of 0.81 points from August 2020. Previously, Indonesia's LFPR had experienced a significant decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease was recorded at 2.13 points, falling from 95.06% in February 2020 to 92.93% in August 2020.
Looking at the data by gender, the recovery in employment opportunities for women was higher than for men between August 2020 and February 2021. The female LFPR was 94.59% in February 2021, up 1.05 points from 93.54% in August 2020.
Meanwhile, the male LFPR was 93.19% in February 2021, a slight increase of 0.65 points from 92.54% in August 2020.
The LFPR is the ratio of the employed population to the labor force. A higher LFPR indicates greater employment opportunities. The LFPR figure reflects the probability of the working-age population finding employment.
