Unemployment in
Indonesia
By: Muthi’atul Hadliroh
The number of
intellectual unemployment in Indonesia there were so fantastic. According to
Central Bureau of Statistics Indonesia, in August 2011, unemployment in
Indonesia reached 7.7 million people. While the number of unemployed college
graduates in 2011 reached 492 343 people. High unemployment is due to the
intellectual world of education in Indonesia, which is quite low and has a few
drawbacks, one of which is difficult to provide education that can actually
foster professionalism in one's career or work. Education in Indonesia in terms
of too much emphasis on theory rather than in terms of practice. And yet the
maximum development of entrepreneurial commitment Additionally college
graduates in Indonesia, more are choosing to work in an office rather than
become entrepreneurs.
The increasing number
of intellectual unemployment in Indonesia caused by the orientation degree to
find work, rather than creating jobs. In addition, it causes the number of intellectual
unemployment, among others, the decline in formal sector absorption of labor
and the mismatch between education and market needs. Plus, there are no synergies business groups, higher education institutions, and
governments are also making an increasingly wide range of abundant labor and
business opportunities are increasingly limited.
To overcome this intellectual unemployment, the government
should form a partnership or synergy between government, private sector and university
institution with their respective roles. Government's role as regulator or
policy maker. The policy needs to be reset are in education and economic field.
In the field of education such as policies limiting the formation of new
courses at each college. Establishment of study programs should be more
flexible and includes many occupations. In the economic sector such as
increasing the number of budget allocations to improve education. While the
role of the private sector as a provider of business fields. And finally, the
role of university is to improve the education system in Indonesia. Of
formation of this partnership is expected to reduce the number of intellectual
unemployment in
Indonesia.
