Evidence from the 2024 Survey on Decent Work in Marine Fishing

The 2024 Survey on Decent Work in Marine Fishing in Indonesia, conducted by ILO and the Indonesia National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), aims to share the results of the survey and facilitate discussions among national policymakers. Indonesia is the largest maritime country with enormous potential for the fishing industry, particularly captured fisheries. However, the sector is largely composed of small-scale fishers, with the majority (61.1%) of 1 million marine fishing vessels being non-motorized vessels and outboard motorboats. The fishing sector is a significant source of livelihood for many people, but it does not always ensure adequate payment and working conditions for fishers. The survey covers 18 ports, including five typologies of ports in Indonesia, and interviews 3,396 fishers. The results are shared to guide policy decisions that enhance decent work in Indonesia's marine fishing industry while fostering productivity and sector growth.

The workshop features virtual participation from 18 ports and researchers from BRIN, aiming to maximize inclusivity and exchange ideas among stakeholders. This hybrid approach combines in-person and online participation, ensuring a comprehensive exchange of ideas in the 2024 Survey on Decent Work in Marine Fishing.
