The number of unemployed university graduates in Indonesia has increased approximately twofold in the last decade.

Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), in February 2014, the number of unemployed graduates with D4/S1/S2/S3 degrees nationwide was only around 398,000.

Since then, the number has fluctuated with an upward trend, reaching 842,000 in August 2024.

Although the number has increased significantly, the change in the ratio or open unemployment rate (TPT) in this group is not so significant.

In February 2014, the TPT for university graduates was 4.31%. This means that out of every 100 university graduates in the workforce (D4/S1/S2/S3), about 4 were unemployed at that time.

The ratio then fluctuated in the range of 4-7%, finally reaching 5.25% in August 2024. In other words, now, out of every 100 university graduates in the workforce, about 5 are unemployed.

The term "open unemployment" recorded by BPS represents the workforce aged 15 years and over 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 new business;
* Do not have a job and are not looking for a job because they feel it is impossible to find a job; or
* Already have a job/business but have not yet started working/doing business.
