Indonesia Forum on Labor and Productivity

The 2026 Forum will be implemented jointly with the International Conference on Data Science and Official Statistics (ICDSOS) under the theme “Breaking the Informality Trap: Using Official Statistics to Drive Policy Reforms for Decent, Productive, and Inclusive Employment.” It will bring together policymakers, official statisticians, employers, worker representatives, academia and researchers, social-security actors, international organizations, and other stakeholders to examine the productivity and protection challenges associated with informality and a changing world of work.

Through evidence-based plenary discussions and thematic paper sessions, the forum is expected to translate official statistics, research findings, international experience, and stakeholder perspectives into actionable policy recommendations. A policy/knowledge output will be consolidated for formal dissemination to relevant government, academic, and private-sector stakeholders, while the dialogue will strengthen collaboration among the Ministry of Manpower, BPS-Statistics Indonesia, and strategic partners for follow-up action on decent, productive, and inclusive employment.
