Based on the highest level of education completed, the majority of Indonesian workers are elementary school graduates or below, comprising 36.54% of the national workforce.

"Lowly educated workers dominate Indonesia's workforce," said the Acting Head of BPS, Amalia A. Widyasanti, in a press conference on Monday (May 6, 2024).

However, according to Amalia, the proportion of workers with elementary school education or below has decreased compared to February of the previous year, which reached 39.76%.
