03:48Based on the survey of the unemployment rate in August 2024,
03:53two regions recorded the highest unemployment rate.
03:56And which region is it?
03:58To find out, let's see the following information.
04:04The difference in statistics notes that
04:06the unemployment rate in Indonesia
04:08decreased in August 2024 to 4.91%.
04:13From the previous report in August 2023,
04:16it was 5.32%.
04:18However, it was noted that there were some regions
04:20where the unemployment rate exceeded the national level.
04:23There are regions with a relatively high unemployment rate
04:26compared to the national unemployment rate,
04:28namely the province of Jawa Barat, which is 6.75%,
04:31Banten is 6.68%,

04:50or equal to the unemployment rate of 4.91%.
04:57This figure is lower if compared to the same period

05:46I am Ekonom Corp Indonesia, Yusuf Ren,
05:48in Manila, with an opinion.
05:49The government needs to find a solution
05:51to reduce unemployment,
05:53especially young unemployment,
05:54which is currently considered to be relatively high.
05:57For that, the government needs to identify
06:00which groups dominate the unemployment rate in Indonesia.
06:06According to the observers,
06:07this identification process is important
06:09because it will be related to the government's efforts
06:11in creating job opportunities.
06:13For example, if the unemployment rate
06:16is currently dominated by the lower level of high school education,
06:20the government needs to focus on finding a job
06:23that meets the characteristics of the working class.
06:26For example, one sector that has the potential to be a solution
06:29is the manufacturing industry.
06:31Because in general, the manufacturing industry
06:33has a not too large entry barrier.
06:36So, in my opinion, this is suitable
06:38with the working class that is currently dominated
06:40by the lower level of high school education.
06:43On the other hand,
06:44Senior Analyst Indonesia Strategic and Economic Action Institution,
06:49Roni Sosmita, said,
06:50the first thing the government should do
06:52is to accelerate investment
06:54so that more jobs are available.
06:57In general, the government needs to push
06:59so that economic growth can be higher
07:02where household consumption increases,
07:04government spending is higher,
07:06and exports are higher
07:08so that new investment opportunities are greater.
07:11Then push for the creation of new jobs.
07:14Meanwhile, the government is related to the high unemployment rate in Indonesia.
07:18The Indonesian government says
07:20it continues to make various efforts
07:22to reduce the unemployment rate.
07:24So, what are the efforts made by the government?
07:27Here's the information.
07:32The Minister of Economy and Trade, Enlangar Tarto,
07:35said that the government continues to try
07:37to reduce the unemployment rate in Indonesia.
07:39It was said that after the Statistics Agency
07:42released the unemployment rate in Indonesia
07:44in August 2024,
07:46it reached 7.47 million people.
07:49Enlangar insisted that to reduce the unemployment rate,
07:52one of the government's priorities in maintaining economic stability
07:55is to prevent the decision of job relations or mass employment.
07:59Therefore, the government values the policies
08:01that pay attention to the labor-intensive sectors are very important.
08:05Along with that, Enlangar said
08:07the government is preparing various incentives
08:09that can push the labor-intensive sector
08:12so that the sector can continue to develop
08:14without reducing the number of jobs.
08:17Furthermore, the development of investment
08:19will also be differentiated into investment
08:21in the labor-intensive sector and capital-intensive sector
08:23so that the continuation of the industry
08:25that absorbs labor can remain.
08:28Coverage Game, Haidech Channel.
08:34Yes, earlier, in the middle of this year,
08:36the Minister of Labor stated that his optimism
08:39can reduce the unemployment rate in 2025
08:43according to the target,
08:45in the range of 4.5% to 5%.
08:48This was also reaffirmed
08:50in the statement of the RUU APBN in August 2025
08:54and the Finance Note on August 16 last year,
08:57where the President targeted that the unemployment rate
08:59can be suppressed in the range of 4.5% to 5%
09:04after previously experiencing a decline in the past few years.
09:09Yes, the statement is related to the effort to reduce unemployment.
09:11The Office of the Labor Secretary,
09:13Tajudin Nur Effendi,
09:15stated that the opening of new jobs
09:17to absorb labor and reduce unemployment
09:20requires a large presence of investment
09:23in the midst of difficult economic challenges.
09:25He revealed economic conditions
09:27including a decline in industry, manufacturing,
09:30purchasing power, and a declining middle class.
09:34It has become a challenge for the Indonesian government
09:38and he believes that the presence of new investments
09:40entering Indonesia in various sectors,
09:42including the technology sector,
09:44is able to absorb and also reduce unemployment.
09:48To achieve optimal investment realization,
09:51he suggested that the government
09:53is able to provide a certainty of business license
09:55and investment through clear regulations
09:58and the security of the investment
10:00planted by the investors in Indonesia.
10:03That is the review of the government's PR
10:05on how to not only provide training,
10:08competitiveness, and quality human resources,
10:11but also how to facilitate business license
10:14and also the investment climate
10:16so that it is not difficult for investors
10:19in terms of bureaucracy and others.
