I. Background
Since overcoming the financial crisis in the 1998, Indonesia 92s economic
growth has been impressive at an average of 6% annually over the last
decade. Economic growth has increased investment and opened up job
opportunities, leading to a halving of the overall unemployment rate, from
11.24% in 2005 to 5.7% in 2014 (OECD, 205). The demand by industry for
graduates from senior high school and tertiary education increased from
22%in 2002 to 35% of graduating students in 2013 (World Bank, 2015). It is
estimated by the Master Plan for the Acceleration and Expansion of
Economic Development in Indonesia (MP3EI) that the country will need 113
million skilled workers by 2030, an average of 3.2 million additional
skilled workers per year.
One third of the total workforce is aged 15 to 29. This demographic
91youth bulge 92 is a potential socioeconomic advantage for the country,
though this depends on the availability of jobs for youth, as continued high
youth unemployment will create huge costs in the future (OECD, 2015). The
unemployment rate among youth aged 15 to 24 years was 18.3% in February
2015 (gender disaggregated data not available), representing 56% of the
total national unemployment rate. Among the unemployed youth, 44% have low
educational backgrounds (below junior high school) and are therefore
ill-equipped for the modern labor market (ILO, 2015). Children and youth
with disabilities face serious disadvantages throughout schooling and in
the world of work. Access to formal employment is especially difficult for
youth with disabilities, especially young women (TNP2K, 2014).
The female labor participation rate has increased only slowly over the
last decade and at 54% is significantly lower than for men at 86 %, and is
one of the lowest in South East Asia 143. Of the total number of employees,
53.6% work in informal employment and 46.4% in formal employment. Women
represent only 35.4% of employees in the formal sector. On the other hand,
women are more likely to work in vulnerable situations (48% of female
workers).
Related the program YEE Pathway will sharpen its gender transformative
approach and work with strategic public and private stakeholders to achieve
advocacy objectives on gender equality and girls 92 rights for economic
opportunity.
With the Above situation, Wired For Word (W4W) Project will est ablish
labor demand and supply, where around 45 million youth (ILO, 2015) w= ill
process to cope with this demand, a supply strategy need to be in place, one
of those strategies is Market Scan. W4W Project would like to conduct
market scan to all area program implementation in December 2019 96
January 2020.
II. Objectives of the Assignment
The purposes of this survey are:
* To gain a comprehensive information about Indonesia 92s situation in
terms of youth and employment.
* To gain information about the potential industries that are suitable for
youth in the area (Jakarta, Semarang and Lombok).
* To gain information about company profile and job profile in the company
from one specific company from the industry.
III. Scope of Work/Duties and Responsibilities
There are three steps in this direct observation. First, we need to do
desk research to get secondary data on current situation. Second, we will
do some focus group discussion to validate the data from desk review. Third,
we will do some in-depth interviews with company management as
representation of each industry.
Desk Research
There are four criteria that we used to select the industry:
* Sectoral GDP. Sectoral GDP is used to see market size in general from
selected industries.
* The distribution of labor as a basis measures the demand for labor.
* Availability of training facilities. This variable is important to be
considered because the sustainability of the program have to= be maintained.
Plan can work with local training institutions to run its programs.
* The distribution of employment for migrant workers.
Focus Group Discussions
Focus Group Discussions (FGD) will be carried out for youth groups in 3
(three) areas (Jakarta, Semarang and Lombok). Each group will be composed
by 8-10 person with different age ranging from 18-29 years old, working or
unemployed. These discussions are conducted in order to validate desk
research result and to get information on opportunities available in the
area as well as youth interests.
In-Depth Interview Method
In-depth interviewing, also known as unstructured interviewing, is a type
of interview which researchers use to elicit information in order to
achieve a holistic understanding of the interviewee 92s point of view or
situation; it can also be used to explore interesting areas for further
investigation. This type of interview involves asking informants
open-ended questions, and probing wherever necessary to obtain data deemed
useful by the researcher. As in-depth interviewing often involves
qualitative data, it is also called qualitative interviewing.
All of data collected in the survey will then be submitted to the Market
Scan tool provided by Plan International Asia Regional Office at
http://www.plan-yes.online[2]. It is recommended for the consultant to
review the tool before starting the observation.
