In the third debate, the vice-presidential candidate with the number 02 stated that unemployment in Indonesia is quite ironic because it is dominated by young people. In line with the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) publication in August 2018, the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) in Indonesia is dominated by Vocational High School (SMK) graduates, reaching 11 percent. The next highest OUR is for Senior High School (SMA) graduates at 7.95 percent.

In other words, this OUR figure reflects a significantly high level of unabsorbed labor supply for SMK and SMA graduates.

Conversely, as written in the BPS report, those with lower levels of education tend to be willing to accept any job. This is why the OUR for primary school and below is the lowest among all education levels.

Compared to the previous year, an increase in OUR only occurred at the university education level, while the OUR at other education levels decreased.
