Labour and social trends in Indonesia 2008: progress and pathways to job-rich development
Presents the socioeconomic and labour market trends in South-East Asia’s largest economy with the aim of drawing attention to key policy challenges posed by these trends during the Decent Work Decade. In particular, the report seeks to inform the formulation and development of the next Medium Term Development Plan (2010–2014) and roadmap for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The ILO Jakarta is frequently asked for practical information, data, analysis, and insights into the labour market situation in Indonesia from constituents, concerned donors, researchers, civil society organizations and other interested individual and parties. This report aims at partially filling that request. As such, special care has been taken to ensure that the report is approachable to as many readers as possible.
Another critical aim of the report is building the capacities of national partners to collect and analyse labour market information in order to identify key challenges and design appropriate policies. While the first Labour and Social Trends in Indonesia report has been prepared by the ILO, it is our hope that the national partners take ownership over the production of future reports.
