The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) revealed that almost 10 million of Indonesia's Generation Z residents aged 15-24 are unemployed or without activities (not in employment, education, and training/NEET).
This unemployment is dominated by SMK graduates.

Another factor causing high unemployment is the lack of funds or capital so that they are unable to enter the education at a higher level, including the training necessary.
So is Gen Z going to be the next generation of gold or the burden of the country?
