Abstract

Until 1997, Indonesia’s economy was among the faster growing in both the region and the developing world generally. Economic growth of around 5% over a period of 25 years had brought significant gains to workers and the population more widely. Poverty rates declined dramatically from the 1970s to 1996, and at the same time a steadily growing share of Indonesia’s labor force made the transition from agriculture to industry and services. Poverty rates decreased from around 40% in 1976 to around 11% in 1996. The share of workers in agriculture declined fairly constantly from around 55% in 1990 to around 41% in 1997. Over this period, industry saw its share of the workforce increase from 14% to 19%.
