The number of unemployed people in Indonesia has risen by 2.6 million to reach 9.7 million due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, Manpower Minister Ida Fauziyah has said.
"Based on BPS (Central Statistics Agency) data, the number of unemployed people stood at 9.7
million nationwide. This means that the figure increased by 2.6 million," she said while visiting
the job training center in the Aceh provincial capital of Banda Aceh on Monday.
The minister said Indonesia had managed to limit the number of unemployed to nearly 7 million
before the COVID-19 pandemic. The figure rose to 9.77 million amid the spread of COVID-19,
she added.
Because of the pandemic, many Indonesian workers who were previously employed in the formal
sector are currently working in the informal sector, she informed.
To that end, the government has made mitigation efforts, ranging from encouraging the
continuation of businesses to providing incentives to them, she said.
