The number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia has continued to increase until the beginning of this year, both novice entrepreneurs and established entrepreneurs.

According to Presidential Regulation No. 2 of 2022, "novice entrepreneurs" are business operators who operate on their own, as well as business operators who are assisted by casual/unpaid workers.

Then "established entrepreneurs" are business operators who are assisted by permanent/paid workers, as referred to in the report of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

According to BPS data, there were 59.26 million people engaged in entrepreneurship in Indonesia in February 2026.

Most entrepreneurs fall into the novice category, with a total of 53.95 million people, the most in the last decade.

This figure consists of 30.37 million people who operate on their own, plus 23.58 million people who operate with the assistance of casual/unpaid workers.

BPS classifies all these novice entrepreneurs as informal workers.

Cumulatively, the number of novice entrepreneurs in February 2026 increased by about 10.82 million people, or a 25% increase compared to February 2017.

Meanwhile, the number of established entrepreneurs in February 2026 reached 5.31 million people, also the most in the last decade.

The number of established entrepreneurs at the beginning of this year has already increased by about 863,98 thousand people, or a 19% increase compared to February 2017.
