“…The Indonesian economy, politics, population, and education system are concentrated in Java and Sumatra. Over 85 percent of Indonesia's GDP is generated from these locations [10]. As in nearly all emerging economies, there is a national program toward improving living standards, increasing employment opportunities, and developing globally competitive industries.…”

“…With sustained GDP growth, increased education participation, a shift away from agriculture, and migration to urban areas, the share of those in poverty has declined over the past two decades [11]. There has been an ongoing emigration of Indonesia workers to Asia and the Middle East working in hospitality, domestic work, construction, and plantations [10]. Indonesia has had to deal with natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, floods, and volcanic eruptions.…”

“…Productivity growth has been limited, reflecting low rates of investment, especially in skills, and labor-intensive production, especially in agriculture [15]. While the formal sector has expanded, the informal sector remains large and many jobs in the formal sector are short term and insecure [10,18]. Contributing to low productivity growth are the limited and dated infrastructure and unreliable electricity supplies [13].…”

The higher education (HE) system in Indonesia is complex and fragmented, with 4.5 thousand universities offering over 25 thousand majors. The system includes public and private universities, institutes, schools of higher learning, academies, community colleges, and polytechnics. Despite growth in institutions and enrolments, the country’s higher education institutions rank low across global rating indicators. The major weaknesses within the higher education sector include the absence of consistent academic quality standards, inconsistent certification, accreditation, supervision, and monitoring processes, an absence of postgraduate-trained staff, and limited research output in recognized international journals. Programs are not linked to workforce skill requirements and graduate unemployment and underemployment rates are high. The word “Internationalization” for Indonesian higher education practically means to “go international” in every aspect of higher education including its education quality and standards, staffing, research, and graduates. The Indonesian government has given priority to the internationalization of universities that includes the goal that universities improve their competitiveness and quality so that they effectively compete globally for staff, students, and research funding. To internationalize, Indonesian universities will have to improve quality across staffing, programs, teaching, and research.

“…There is contextual significance behind the research since the tertiary education plays strategic role in Indonesia in terms of employment, training, skills and development. Finally, this is an emerging economy context, and while Indonesia is an emerging economy in Southeast Asia, it does have social, religious, and cultural conditions that differ from those found in Western economies and this contributes to the importance of the study ( Burgess et al., 2020 ).…”

The purpose of this paper is to examine determinant factors that influence lecturers' productivity during working from home arrangement in the covid-19 pandemic. The focus is the impact of organizational factors that includes IT training, digital infrastructure, and management support, and individual factors as represented by digital orientation on employees' digital capability which in turn affect their productivity. A survey of academic staff from 15 faculties at a state in East Java, Indonesia was conducted as the data collection method. A total of 267 completed questionnaires were analysed using SmartPLS version 2.0. Only an individual's digital orientation was found to have significant impact on the individual's digital capability which in turn affected their d productivity during implementing work from home in this covid-19 pandemic. The research findings suggest the importance of digital orientation in staff selection criteria and for universities to move to greater online delivery of courses combined with flexible working options for staff.

Indonesia is an emerging economy that has undergone structural change and achieved sustained growth rates that have lifted average living standards over the past three decades. Compared to advanced economies, the Indonesian population and workforce are relatively young. However, the population will age over the coming decades, and the profile will resemble that of advanced economies. Poverty and inequality are extensive, and the challenge of an aging population is that only a minority of the workforce has access to a secure post-retirement income and services that support quality aging. The challenges of an aging population and workforce are discussed in the chapter. These include the large share of workers in the informal sector and the growth of contingent work arrangements in the formal sector. Many continue to work into old age as they cannot afford to retire. Despite an increase in schooling and post-secondary education participation, the quality of education and the low investment in training has limited productivity growth.
