The number of unemployed Indonesian senior high school (SMA) graduates has increased over the past decade, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic.

Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the number of unemployed SMA graduates fluctuated between February 2014 and February 2020, with a median of 1.89 million.

However, after the pandemic, specifically between August 2020 and August 2024, the median number of unemployed SMA graduates rose to 2.3 million.

The median increased because since August 2020, the number of unemployed SMA graduates has consistently exceeded 2 million, as shown in the graph.

Despite the increase in numbers, the ratio or open unemployment rate (TPT) in this group has tended to decrease.

In February 2014, the TPT for SMA graduates reached 9.1%. This means that out of every 100 SMA graduate workers, about 9 were unemployed at that time.

The ratio then fluctuated in the range of 6-10%, finally reaching 7.05% in August 2024. In other words, out of every 100 SMA graduate workers today, 7 are unemployed, fewer than a decade ago.

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