Populix surveyed the income sources of Generation Z and Millennials in Indonesia.

The results show that the majority, or 56% of total respondents, receive a salary from full-time employment.

Furthermore, 28% of respondents earn income from freelance work or side hustles, and 19% from personal businesses.

Another 18% of respondents reported that their primary income source is allowance or financial support. This proportion was higher among Gen Z respondents, although Populix did not provide specific figures.

A smaller percentage of respondents reported income from investments or passive income (7%), government social assistance (1%), and other sources (3%).

Populix conducted this online survey from February 20-25, 2025, with 1,100 respondents across Indonesia.

The majority of respondents were located on Java (77%), followed by Sumatra (14%) and other islands (9%). Respondents consisted of 50% Gen Z (18-28 years old) and 50% Millennials (29-44 years old).
