For more than a decade, the number of layoffs (PHK) for workers in Indonesia has fluctuated.

Databoks compiled data from media reports sourced from the Ministry of Manpower (Kemenaker) and the Kemenaker One Data portal.

During that period, layoffs in 2014, or the early era of President Joko Widodo's (Jokowi) tenure, were quite high, affecting 77,687 workers.

The number then reportedly continued to decrease until September 2018, reaching 3,362. This was the lowest in a decade.

However, in 2019, the number surged significantly, with an estimated 45,000 workers affected.

Entering 2020, when economic activity was paralyzed due to Covid-19, the number of layoffs soared. Kemenaker estimated that mass dismissals affected 3.6 million Indonesian workers.

Afterward, layoff cases gradually decreased. In 2024, or at the end of Jokowi's term, there were 77,965 layoff cases.

Moving to President Prabowo Subianto, in his first year of leadership, layoff cases reached 88,519.

The number of layoffs in 2025 increased by 13.53% from 2024. Notably, this 2025 data is provisional.
