According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in February 2024 there were approximately 84 million informal workers in Indonesia, equivalent to 59.17% of the total national workforce.

Informal workers are those employed in business sectors unregulated by the government, such as street vendors, sidewalk vendors, warung (small shop) owners, and so on.

According to A. A. Gde Sutrisna WP from the Indonesian Planners Association (IAP) Bali, the informal sector generally provides employment for people with low levels of education, producing simple goods with low wages.

This sector has several weaknesses, such as generally limited capital, low business development, low technology utilization, and vulnerability to extortion.

In February 2024, the highest ratio of informal workers was in the Pegunungan Papua province, reaching 95.66% of the total workforce in that province.

Other provinces with high ratios of informal workers include Central Papua, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), Lampung, West Sulawesi, West Papua, Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi, and Southeast Sulawesi.

According to BPS data, informal workers are categorized as self-employed individuals, those employing unpaid or non-permanent laborers, independent workers, and unpaid family workers.
