Based on data from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemnaker), the number of open unemployed individuals in Indonesia reached 7.9 million in February 2023.

This figure represents 5.45% of the total domestic workforce that is not absorbed into the job market.

In February 2023, the majority of the openly unemployed were aged 20-24 years, totaling 2.39 million people.

There were also many unemployed individuals from the age groups 25-29 years (1.21 million people) and 15-19 years (1.12 million people).

Meanwhile, the number of unemployed individuals from older age groups was smaller, as shown in the graph.

Kemnaker defines open unemployment as the working-age population (15 years and older) who meet the following criteria:

* Do not have a job and are looking for a job;
* Do not have a job and are preparing a business;
* Do not have a job and are not looking for a job because they feel it is impossible to find one; or
* Already have a job, but have not yet started working.

West Java had the highest number of openly unemployed individuals, reaching 2 million in February 2023.

Next are Central Java and East Java, each with 1.1 million and 1.01 million openly unemployed individuals, respectively.
