Based on Indonesian Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 2022, a "novice entrepreneur" is a business operator who operates independently, as well as a business operator assisted by casual/unpaid workers, as defined in the report of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

According to BPS data, the total number of novice entrepreneurs in Indonesia reached 53.95 million in February 2026.

The breakdown includes 30.37 million people who operate independently, plus 23.58 million people who operate with the assistance of casual/unpaid workers.

BPS classifies all these novice entrepreneurs as informal workers.

Overall, the number of novice entrepreneurs in February 2026 increased by about 566,68 thousand people or grew by 1.06% compared to February last year (year-on-year).

The number also set a record high in the last five years, as shown in the chart.

However, when compared to the labor force, the ratio of novice entrepreneurs at the beginning of this year slightly decreased.

In February 2026, the ratio of novice entrepreneurs equaled 34.83% of the national labor force, which totals 154.91 million people.

This figure decreased compared to the ratio of novice entrepreneurs in February 2025, which reached 34.88%.
