Indonesia’s working-age population showed a steady increase from in 1990 to in 2022, reflecting demographic growth and improved health outcomes. The growth was particularly marked from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, coinciding with economic reforms and rising labor demand in manufacturing and services. This gradual rise highlights Indonesia’s evolving workforce structure, supported by a relatively young population. However, continued growth will depend on balancing youth employment with sustainable economic development.
