According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2021 the number of workers with disabilities in Indonesia reached 7.04 million people, or approximately 5.37% of the total working population.

This figure is down from 2020, when the number of workers with disabilities reached 7.67 million people, or 5.98% of the total working population.

Workers with disabilities recorded in this BPS report are workers aged 15 years and older who experience impairments in vision, hearing, mobility, using or moving fingers or hands, and speaking or understanding or communicating with others.

There are also workers who experience other impairments such as impairments in memory, concentration, and emotional, with varying degrees of severity, from mild to moderate to severe.

Broken down by employment status, in 2021 the majority of workers with disabilities in Indonesia were self-employed, numbering around 2.06 million people. This number is down from the previous year, when it reached 2.15 million people.

A decrease also occurred in most other employment status groups, except for the group of self-employed non-agricultural workers, whose numbers increased as shown in the graph.

"People with disabilities often receive unfair treatment because of their impairments, including in terms of obtaining employment," the BPS explained in its report.

"In the context of decent work, jobs should be open to all those who meet the requirements, including non-discriminatory treatment for people with disabilities," the BPS concluded.
