FENOMENA PENGANGGURAN TERDIDIK DI INDONESIA

Abstract

The unemployment in Indonesia shows a relatively stable rate at the level of 5% -6%. However, when viewed in more detail, the unemployment in Indonesia is dominated by youth unemployment and also educated unemployment (with a minimum education of senior high school), with a rate ofover 20%. Using the data from the 2016 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas), this study will look at the factors that affect a highly educated person to become unemployed in Indonesia (educated unemployment). Some of the aspects that are predicted to affect educated unemployment in Indonesia are from both labor demand and supply factors, such as labour absorption of industrial and service sectors, minimum wage rates and some individual characteristics such as age, marital status, and family economic background.
