Navigating the Future of Work: Policy Approaches for Gig Work in Indonesia

Indonesia’s gig economy remains relatively small but continues to expand alongside digital platform development in sectors such as transport, logistics, and freelancing. Gig work provides opportunities for flexible arrangements, income diversification, and broader labor force participation. However, working conditions vary significantly, particularly for workers with limited bargaining power and autonomy, who may experience constraints related to compensation, platform control, and job security. Existing regulatory approaches remain fragmented and largely sector-specific. A more differentiated policy framework is needed to address the diversity of gig work, with greater attention to worker classification, appropriate protections, and the balance between maintaining flexibility and supporting overall ecosystem development.
