According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), there were approximately 4.4 million micro and small industrial (IMK) units in Indonesia in 2024.

Most of these IMKs are labor-intensive businesses with very limited use of technology.

In 2024, all IMKs in Indonesia absorbed 10.47 million workers. However, 65% of them were unpaid workers, such as business owners and family workers.

Among the IMK groups that provided remuneration in the form of wages, 51% paid their workers less than IDR 10,000 per hour per person.

Below are the details of the percentage of IMKs based on worker wage value in 2024:

IDR 20,000/more per hour: 12.38%

IDR 15,000—IDR 19,999 per hour: 11.07%

IDR 10,000—IDR 14,999 per hour: 25.30%

IDR 5,000—IDR 9,999 per hour: 30.62%

Less than IDR 5,000 per hour: 20.63%

In 2024, the majority of IMK workers in Indonesia were aged between 25—64 years (86%), followed by the 15—24 year age group (8%), 65 years and above (6%), and under 15 years (0.3%).
