Indonesia’s Government to Continue Improving Competitiveness in Human Capital Against the Backdrop of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the Demographic Dividend

Published

on

 

In addition to accelerating national economic recovery in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia’s government continues to support efforts in improving human capital competitiveness. This is done in order to better prepare them in facing the fourth industrial revolution and able to take advantage of the demographic dividend. This was discussed at a webinar held by the Covid-19 Handling and National Economic Recovery Committee (KPCPEN) titled “Preparing Human Capital Assets to Support Business Recovery in the Pandemic Era,” on Monday (30/11/2020).

Rosarita Niken Widiastuti, Ministry of Communication and Information Special Staff for Information and Public Relations, Digital Transformation and Inter-Agency Relations, said that the government has long prepared various digital tools for Indonesia’s young talents. In 2021, Kominfo is targeting to award 60,000 scholarships for digital-related subjects such as cyber security, cloud computing, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, IOT, robotics and digital business.

“Apart from digital training for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), Kominfo is holding various digital entrepreneurship trainings or digital talent scholarships. All of these programs’ intention is to prepare the young workforce to face Industry 4.0,” said Rosarita Niken Widiastuti in the webinar.

Moreover, this series of programs has successfully supported nearly five million MSMEs in digital transformation. “We provide support through the ‘grebek pasar’ program, in which the program helps small communities, particularly MSMEs, to sell through online channels. The government does not want the marketplace to be filled only with foreign products,” she said.

Demographic Dividend and Human Capital Competency

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia is also facing a demographic bonus which is predicted to last until 2045. This means that the share of the working age-population or the productive workforce is greater than the non-productive share of the population. “In terms of percentage, the productive workforce (16-30 years) almost reaches 25% of the total workforce,” said Anwar Sanusi, Secretary General of the Ministry of Manpower, who was also a speaker at the KPCPEN webinar.

“In the digital society, we must be able to find new business models. Meanwhile, the education and training sectors must be improved,” explained Anwar Sanusi. “Job transformation continues to move forward, and people can now work anywhere and anytime. This trend is accommodated by the Job Creation Law (‘UU Cipta Kerja’) through a wage system based on working hours,” he said.

According to Anwar, the demographic dividend presents both opportunities and challenges. We must be prepared for the transition to Industry 4.0 which focuses a lot on digitization and automation. “In line with the demographic bonus dividend, Indonesia’s human capital is also facing the fourth industrial revolution. Both must be managed optimally.”

One of the webinar speakers, Chairman of Apindo (Employers Association of Indonesia) national board chairman, Hariyadi B. Sukamdani, said “The risks from automation are also quite significant because most of our workforce is in the manufacturing and food sectors. The International Labor Organization (ILO) has predicted that the automotive sector will be severely affected by automation.”

The availability of a large productive workforce often does not get support of a company’s investment in Human Capital competencies. “According to World Bank data, only 4.7% of the total number of companies in Indonesia provide formal training on digitization. So, the problem could very well be about the budget,” said Sukamdani.

According to him, the government must focus more on utilizing the apprenticeship program and ‘Balai Latihan Kerja’/BLK (Vocational training center). Thus, our human capital would have competent qualifications, and are ready to dive into the business environment. “Moving forward, entrepreneurs hope that BLK can be a useful means of improving the skills of the workforce.”

LONDON, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On May 21st, at the invitation of London Business School (LBS), Guo Wei, Chairman of Digital China, participated in the esteemed “Managing the Digital Organization” lecture, engaging with a cohort of prospective business leaders. Focusing on the trending topics of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ and ‘Digital Transformation’, he imparted the digital philosophy and practices of Chinese enterprises amidst the digital civilization era.

Digital China, a prominent player in China’s digital economy, has harnessed over two decades of deep involvement in the nation’s information industry to embrace the power of digitization. This has culminated in what Guo Wei refers to as ‘China’s Vibrant Blueprint for Digital Transformation’, carving a distinctive path of digital metamorphosis. Notably, Digital China’s transformation narrative has been incorporated into LBS’s esteemed case library, underscoring its significance as a teaching instrument.
In his lecture, Guo Wei emphasized that the digital economy now constitutes the backbone of supply, with digital technology emerging as the paramount catalyst for economic expansion. The hastening pace of global digitization propels us into an epoch of digital civilization. For multinational corporations, digital strategies have escalated to the status of corporate strategy, and the amassing of data assets constitutes the pivotal lever for business innovation. Amidst this evolution, AI-fueled digital-cloud integration signifies a disruptive technological innovation, poised to invigorate the global landscape. Digital China feels honored to reprise its role in elite international business school case repositories, thereby contributing insights to academia. This recognition signifies that Chinese enterprises’ digital and AI acumen resonates globally, exemplifying world-class practices.
Professor Julian Birkinshaw, Vice Dean and Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at LBS, remarked, “As a global institution, we constantly seek out exemplary cases worldwide. Digital China was chosen not solely due to its prominence in China but also its sophisticated implementation of digital technologies, demonstrating adaptability and offering invaluable insights to our students about the contemporary business milieu. The story of Digital China encapsulates Mr. Guo Wei’s philosophy – digitization transcends being a mere process; it embodies the existential rationale for companies. This philosophy underpins our decision to feature Digital China in our case studies.”
