In Indonesia, the past two decades have been a time of great
progress but also massive transformations and abrupt setbacks. In
this context, this book reviews the main characteristics of - and
trends in - demand for skills in Indonesia. It seeks to document
the existence of a possible skills mismatch between employer
demands and the available supply, the contribution of the education
and training sector to this mismatch, and possible measures to
improve the education and training system s responsiveness to what
the labor market and the economy need. In today s job market in
Indonesia, there appears to be a premium on theoretical and
practical knowledge of the job. While skills do not appear to be
yet among the most important constraints for the economy, the
situation is different for larger more export-oriented
manufacturing firms. Subjective assessments of difficulties of
matching needs with available skills provide evidence that skills
are becoming an issue overall in Indonesia. The widest gaps across
professional profiles are for English and computer skills followed
by thinking and behavioral skills. Theoretical and practical
knowledge of the job are also considered to be weak. There are
important gaps in creativity, computing and some technical skills
for young workers. English remains the largest gap. Five general
skill related priorities can be highlighted for Indonesia. First,
the country needs to improve skill measurement to get a fuller
understanding of skill needs and gaps. Second, it is urgent for
Indonesia to address the still unsatisfactory quality and relevance
of its formal education, including higher education. Third, the
country needs to set-up multiple pathways for skill development.
Fourth, the country needs to develop an integrated approach to
tackle skill development for youth. Fifth, Indonesia should also
tackle labor market constraints which affect the skill matching
process."
