The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) World Economic Outlook April 2025 report projects Indonesia's unemployment rate to reach 5% in 2025. This figure is projected to rise further to 5.1% in 2026.

According to the IMF's country groupings, this proportion is high for emerging and developing economies in Asia. Indonesia is also the only country in this group experiencing a rise in unemployment.

Indonesia's unemployment rate is slightly below that of China, which ranks first with projected rates of 5.1% for both 2025 and 2026.

India, ranking third, follows Indonesia with projected unemployment rates of 4.9% for both 2025 and 2026. Thailand has the lowest projected rate in this group, at 1% for both years.

Minister of Manpower Indonesia, Yassierli, commented on the IMF's projection of a 5% unemployment rate this year, up from the previous 4.9%. According to Yassierli, as reported by Katadata, this serves as a warning for Indonesia.

“While these are projections and predictions, they serve as input and a warning for us,” said Yassierli at the Human Capital Summit 2025 on Wednesday, June 4, 2025.

The IMF's unemployment rate represents the percentage of the workforce that is unemployed or still seeking employment. Yassierli stated that the government must proactively orchestrate efforts across all relevant ministries to identify and address job opportunities.
