Total young unemployed in 2009

(22.2 %)

This young unemployed lives in poverty. Mostly the age of this young unemployed are about 15-24 years old, and do not complete the primary school.

Indonesia is located in the South-East of Asia.

In social sector, this country is catagorized and ranked in the four place of its higest population.

This high population leads to unemployment and the lack of education.

Total number of poverty in Indonesia is still high that makes its citizen have lack of education. Without no good understanding, the people tend to believe that the more children will make the more prosperity.

In fact, they just tend to have many children but do not have enough cost of education.

This lack of education leads to unskilled youth unemployment .

Furthermore, the youth unemployment is a serious problem in Indonesia and to the government and its civilians.

From the data taken from the Ministry of Indonesian Labour, this country is noted to be the higgest rank of Unemployment in all the Asia Pasific region.

Effect and Consequences of Youth Unemployment: Decreasing the economic

and labour productivity, Low capacity utilization

company, Low quality of labour force , Slowing the competitiveness

of Indonesia in the global level.

There are two kinds of youth unemployment:The youth unskilled unemployment is caused

by low level of education and poverty.The youth skilled unemployment is caused by

the lack of their own human resources, proper job opportunity and or the low GPA that cannot reach the minimum standart of the companies.

Youth unemployment is a problem that needs a responsibility from the government,

especially the Ministry of Labour to provide the solution for this phenomena.

This project needs govermental initiatives to make a new social system that arranges

unemployment in Indonesia.

1) Young unskilled unemployment Why? Indonesian unemployment dominated by the

lower class society who has no skill and good education. That is why they need help from the government at least to provide them jobs to run their life properly.

2) Young skilled unemployment Why? Most of graduated youth still having trouble in

searching for jobs because of their unconsciousness to increase their own human resources. Thus, resulted the unable to reach the high requirement of the companies for those who have no enough GPA and even to those who are not come from the subject study that company wants.

Making institution which is moved in Non-Govermental Organization (NGO) to be the place for the unskilled unemployment can be gathered under this organization.

This NGO will be supported by supporting documents and properties to gain more success by taking this institution to the capital government to make this as the important concern for the nation so that this institution can coorperate and work under the Ministry of Labour, which will automatically crown this institution as a Governmental Organization.

This project will take about 3 years to start and ruling NGO before it turns to Governmental Org.

The first three years also includes the proposal submission to the capital government, and process of winning the agreements from the government.

The target next four up to six years is to make a new arrangements which require the young skilled unemployment to join this project.

Through this solution, the young skilled unemployment automatically can get a job and can use their unused skills to teach and educate the young unskilled unemployment with practices.

This institution is unlike school, because the target operation will not get theories as the subject study, but practices which directly educate them to certain job and career such as : enterpreneurship.

The success of this solution can happen if :There is anthusiasm from the member s of

institution itselfThere are anthusiasm and good interaction and

feed back from the government especially the ministry of labour.

There are anthusiasm from the young skilled unemployment to cooperate and to employed themselves by joining this governmental concern.

In the first three year, there will be 100 young people each month involved.

In the next three year, after the organization become the govermental organization, there will be 1000 young people involved each month.

The total young unemployed are both young people and young unemployed.

I. 100 young people x 12 (months) x 3 (years) = 3600 young people

II.1000 young people x 12 (months ) x 3 (years) = 36000 young people.

Thus, youth unemployment will be decreasing years by years, and finally removed from this social system. Patience and anthusiasm are the keys to success.
