The ministry\u2019s secretary, Budi Setiyono, stated that his ministry is\nholding cross-ministerial and interagency discussions to implement the\nPopulation Development Roadmap within the employment and education\nsectors.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis collaboration is designed to support the framework being\nestablished by President Prabowo, enabling Indonesia to accelerate its\ntransition toward a developed nation and support the target of achieving\n8 percent economic growth,\u201d he said in an official statement on\nSaturday.<\/p>\n
He explained that the roadmap is designed to maximize the demographic\ndividend, ensuring the surplus of the working-age population is\noptimally utilized.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the Ministry of Population and Family Development is\ninitiating a joint action plan across both sectors to accurately map\nworkforce availability, required skills, and labor market absorption\ncapacity through the K3P Committee.<\/p>\n
According to him, the 8 percent economic growth target can only be\nachieved if there is alignment between the education and employment\nsectors. Therefore, precise end-to-end calculations are vital to ensure\nthe working-age population is fully absorbed into the workforce.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Anwar Sanusi, head of the Ministry of Manpower\u2019s Labor\nPlanning and Development Agency, noted that the future workforce\nlandscape remains highly dynamic.<\/p>\n
Challenges that need to be addressed include skills mismatches,\nmanaging the informal sector, and navigating the rise of digitalization\nand artificial intelligence (AI), which are driving shifts toward new\ntypes of jobs.<\/p>\n
\u201cDrafting an employment outlook is critical as an instrument to\nnavigate the future job market landscape. The data can be used by\nministries, agencies, and regional governments in preparing targeted\nemployment policies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Responding to the collaborative action, the Secretary General of the\nMinistry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, M Samsuri,\nunderscored the importance of cross-sectoral collaboration to prepare a\nfuture curriculum that is adaptive to developments in the world of\nwork.<\/p>\n
He also emphasized the importance of optimizing higher education,\nparticularly vocational education, to serve as a bridge for\ncollaboration with the Ministry of Manpower\u2019s Job Training Centers. This\nis expected to create alignment between university human resources and\nactual industry demands.<\/p>\n
Echoing this sentiment, Sidik Herman, Secretary of the Ministry of\nIndustry\u2019s Industrial Human Resources Development Agency, expressed full\nsupport for this cross-ministerial and institutional collaboration.<\/p>\n
He stated that his agency is committed to ensuring the industrial\nsector plays an active role and makes a tangible contribution to the\nsuccess of this major program, which is projected to become a key\nnational agenda.<\/p>\n
