According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the open unemployment rate (TPT) among youth in Indonesia reached 11.78% in August 2025.

This means that out of every 100 male and female labor force participants aged 16-30 in Indonesia, approximately 12 are unemployed.

"One of the causes of the high youth TPT is the low competitiveness of youth in the labor market," said BPS in its Indonesian Youth Statistics 2025 report.

"Furthermore, the high youth TPT indicates a lack of potential to achieve economic benefits," it added.

Each province has varying levels of youth unemployment. The highest unemployment rate is in Papua Province, while the lowest is in Papua Pegunungan.

Below is a list of the 10 provinces with the highest youth TPT in August 2025, based on the BPS report:

Papua: 17.34%
North Sulawesi: 16.91%
West Java: 16.89%
Banten: 16.17%
Southwest Papua: 15.65%
Maluku: 15.4%
Riau Islands: 13.92%
West Sumatra: 13.21%
Aceh: 12.99%
DKI Jakarta: 12.96%
