The Internet and Indonesian Women Entrepreneurs: Examining the Impact of Social Media on Women Empowerment

Year: 2015

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: Unemployment is one of the major challenges that Indonesia faces. Home to over 230 million, Indonesia has an unemployment rate of 2.6 % among a labour force of 107.7 million (Badan Pusat Statistik 2010). Of this number, the working population is pegged at 104.9 million, comprising 66.8 million men and 38.1 million women (ibid.). The unemployment rate appears to be moderate. However, the Indonesian Statistics Bureau estimates that only 67.72 % of the working force is regularly employed. Therefore, the actual unemployment rate at any given time is higher than the official figure. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
