Amid the stagnation of the domestic economy, which grew only around five percent during the three years of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Jusuf Kalla's (JK) administration, unemployment and poverty rates actually decreased. In the 2018 State Budget (RAPBN), the government targeted a poverty rate in the range of 9.5-10 percent. Similarly, the open unemployment rate also shrank to the range of 5-5.3 percent.

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the unemployment rate briefly rose to 6.18 percent in August 2015 due to the increase in subsidized fuel prices, but it decreased to 5.61 percent the following year. Then, in February 2017, it fell again to 5.33 percent. Similarly, the poverty rate, which increased to 11.12 percent in September 2015, decreased to 10.76 percent the following year. Then, in March 2017, it further decreased to 10.64 percent.
