Jakarta, Indonesia Plan International Full time

**Background**

While Indonesia has seen a decrease in overall unemployment rates post COVID-19, this remains above pre-pandemic levels at 5.32% (5.15% Female and 5.42% Male) according to the Central Bureau of Statistics (2023). There are continued efforts to sustain economic recovery and create more job opportunities across various sectors to stabilise and further reduce unemployment rates.

Gender inequality is a significant social issue in youth employment in Indonesia. Young women face a range of challenges to enter the labour market and in advancing their careers, including cultural and social norms that prioritise male employment and limit progression opportunities for women. Only 39% of young women (aged 15-29) are part of the workforce compared to 58% of young men within the same age range (Ministry of Labour, 2022). To further compound the issue, young women are more likely to be in informal or precarious employment in Indonesia, with 63% in such jobs compared to 56% of young men (National Labour Force Survey, 2023).

To respond these situation, Plan Indonesia with support from Standard Chartered Foundation will launch FutureMakers 2.0 Project. The project will target 1,900 young people as project participants. Of these, 75% will be young women (aged 18-29) and approximately 5% will be youth with disabilities (aged 18-35) living in Greater Jakarta Region, Greater Surabaya Region, Greater Semarang Region, and Special Region of Yogyakarta. All project participants will be young people from low socio-economic backgrounds (earning less than $2.50 USD per day), who might also face other markers of disadvantage, such as being out-of-school, a single mother, of a minority background, a victim of domestic violence, having a disability, being of a minority gender/sexual identity. To support Project Manager in managing this project, YPII will recruit 2 (two) Youth Engagement Officers.
