Govt backs youth entrepreneurship to drive economic growth

Indonesia's government is promoting youth entrepreneurship as a key strategy for economic growth and achieving advanced-economy status. Deputy Minister Irene Umar emphasized that increasing the percentage of entrepreneurs in the population is crucial for development, noting that Indonesia currently falls short of international benchmarks. The Ministry of Creative Economy supports programs like Prestasi Junior Indonesia (PJI), which provides over two million young people with business skills and mentorship since 2011. PJI's Student Company program enables high school students to run real-world micro-enterprises, focusing on sustainability and innovation. The initiative aims to foster job creation, intellectual property commercialization, and globally competitive products through partnerships with stakeholders.
