The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) regularly releases data on the number of open unemployed in Indonesia, encompassing four categories:

1. Unemployed individuals actively seeking work;
2. Individuals who have accepted a job but have not yet started;
3. Individuals preparing to start a business; and
4. Individuals who have given up hope of finding a job.

The last group, those who have given up hope of finding employment, remains significantly large.

According to BPS data analyzed by the Ministry of Manpower, in February 2024, the number of discouraged workers reached 742,000. This represents approximately 10% of total national unemployment.

Although slightly lower than in August 2023, this figure is still about twice as high as before the Covid-19 pandemic.

Before the pandemic, in February 2020, the number of discouraged workers was only 324,000, representing less than 5% of total unemployment.
