Abstract

Indonesia will face an era of demographic bonus in the next few years, to be precise from 2030 to 2040. The demographic bonus in question is a period where the population of productive age (15-64 years) is greater than the non-productive age population (65 years and above) with a proportion of more than 60% of the total population of Indonesia. This case happens because of increasing welfare and public education. In welcoming this era, the Government must prepare with careful planning. The government is currently working on various programs to realize the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045. Demographic bonus productive human resources will not be productive if there are no jobs that match the skills and fields they master. The government must prepare various job opportunities and open investment taps both from within the country and abroad. The demographic bonus is a strategic opportunity for Indonesia to accelerate development with the support of abundant human resources (HR) from the productive age. Moreover, in 2030 there is a big agenda for sustainable development (Sustainable Development Goals). In line with this, the government has also launched the Golden Indonesia Vision 2045 with the hope of creating a quality productive generation. The states role is to intervene, creating jobs through investment. So investment, whether using domestic or foreign funds, including inviting foreign capital to enter Indonesia, is actually to create jobs for the productive generation.
