The World Bank states that most jobs in Indonesia lack employment contracts, do not provide middle-class wages, and offer minimal protection. Of the 49 million employees in Indonesia, only 7% receive all three.
Meanwhile, 22.7% of workers have at least a permanent contract. 21.1% receive middle-class wages, while only 15.8% receive full worker protection.
This situation is one of the obstacles Indonesia faces in increasing the number of middle-class jobs. These jobs provide sufficient income to allow families to enjoy a middle-class standard of living.
The World Bank notes that there are 85 million working Indonesians. This includes salaried employees, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
However, only 13 million, or 15% of the total workforce, earn enough to support a middle-class lifestyle for a family of four. The government needs to strive to improve people's welfare to increase the Indonesian middle class.
