Angka pengangguran terbuka (TPT) Indonesia turun ke 4,76% pada Februari 2025 terendah dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Sekilas, ini tampak sebagai sinyal membaiknya pasar kerja. Namun jika ditelaah lebih dalam, jumlah penganggur justru meningkat, dan sebagian besar pekerjaan baru yang tercipta adalah pekerjaan informal yang rentan tanpa perlindungan sosial.

Analisis terbaru kami menunjukkan bahwa 59,4% pekerja Indonesia masih bekerja secara informal, tanpa kontrak kerja formal atau jaminan hukum. Bahkan di kalangan pekerja formal, mayoritas bekerja dengan sistem kontrak jangka pendek (PKWT) yang tidak menjamin keberlanjutan pekerjaan atau akses penuh terhadap jaminan sosial. Cakupan jaminan sosial pun masih sangat rendah, khususnya bagi pekerja informal dan pekerja tanpa perjanjian kerja. read more

Participants were also introduced to the essential components of a well-crafted executive summary—one that presents the main recommendations in a direct and actionable manner.

Indonesia’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060 or earlier places the coal sector at the heart of the nation’s energy transition. As one of the main contributors to national GDP, state revenue, and employment, phasing out coal is not just an environmental milestone—it’s a socioeconomic turning point. Our latest study reveals that while most coal workers belong to the highest wage deciles, many are still vulnerable due to fixed-term contracts that limit access to social protection. The transition is projected to cause widespread job losses across upstream and downstream industries, with regions like East Kalimantan and South Sumatra likely to face the greatest impact. read more
