The Discrepancy Between Education and Labor Market Needs Remains Significant
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
A mismatch in the workforce is a challenge facing Indonesia's employment sector. This is due to the incompatibility between the education of the workforce and the needs of industry.
According to the 2015 National Labor Force Survey processed by the University of Indonesia's Demographic Institute, vertical mismatch, or the incompatibility between jobs and education level and wages, reached 53.33 percent. Meanwhile, horizontal mismatch, or the incompatibility of job qualifications with educational background, reached 60.52 percent.
This gap is being addressed through cooperation between ministries and related institutions, particularly in the education sector, to develop curricula that meet the needs of industry. In addition, the government is also promoting vocational training, apprenticeships, and competency certification.
