TEMPO.CO , Jakarta - The International Labor Organization (ILO) says that in 2012, Indonesia’s unemployment rate declined from 6.32 percent in August 2011 to 6.14 percent in August 2012. The declining trend is expected to continue.
“Employment continues to exceed the growth of labor force,” ILO economist Emma Allen told reporters at Sari Pan Pacific Hotel in Jakarta on Thursday, April 4. Allen added that last year there were 1.13 million new job openings in Indonesia. The ILO recorded that the country has a 118.08-million strong workforce, out of the total population of 244.75-million.
Throughout the period of August 2011 and 2012, the unemployment rate declined in almost all provinces except Aceh and Southeast Sulawesi. Over the period, Aceh showed an increase in the unemployment rate from 7.43 percent to 9.1 percent, while in Sulawesi the figure climbed from 3.06 percent to 4.04 percent.
