The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded a continuous decrease in the number of commuter workers in Indonesia during the period of February 2020-February 2022, in line with the trend of working remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the BPS definition, a commuter worker is a resident who works outside their regency/city of residence and regularly commutes to and from their residence on the same day.

In February 2022, the number of commuter workers was recorded at 7.07 million people, equivalent to 5.22% of the total working population. This number marks a decrease of approximately 940,000 people from the previous year.

This is consistent with Google's report showing that at the end of February 2022, mobility to workplaces was 9.29% lower and mobility to public transportation stations was 21% lower than the normal level at the beginning of 2020 before the pandemic.

However, this decrease in mobility did not occur evenly across Indonesia. In Kalimantan, for example, the proportion of commuter workers actually increased to 3.05% in February 2022, compared to 2.73% in February 2020.
