Unemployed person is someone who doesn’t work but is currently looking for a job and trying to get a suitable job. Unemployment is one of the social problems that occurs in many countries, one of them is Indonesia. This social problem is difficult to be faced. Usually, this social problem is caused by incompatibility between suitors of the jobs and the available jobs. This incompatibility makes unemployment occur everywhere.
There are many factors that can bring about unemployment, whether they are inner or outer factors. Inner factor is individual factor from the unemployed people itself, like laziness, disability, old age, low quality education or skill. Many jobs demand high quality education or skill, but the most important is skill. Many scholars in Indonesia are unemployed, because they don’t have good skills. Education or skill will be the foundation in order to get a suitable job. Outer factor isn’t individual factor from the unemployed person, for example here, are so many inhabitants and unstable political condition in the country. Many inhabitants are causing tighter rivalry in world of work. Unstable politic will make unstable economy too, because political condition is relevant with economy condition. Other factor is that the unemployed doesn’t know about the jobs are currently available. It is caused by their location, which sometimes makes it impossible to get information about those available jobs
Unemployment causes decreasing productivity and the decreasing of inhabitants income. This problem causes the descent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the country. The descent of GDP causes other social problems such as, poverty. It is one of the domino effects from unemployment. Now, unemployment in Indonesia is increasing. Below there is a data based on the data from Central Bureau of Statistics under the topic of unemployment in Indonesia.

Indonesia can compress this increasing with transmigration system. On transmigration system the unemployed person can get a place. So, the unemployed person can develop that place and they won’t be unemployed anymore. Other methods are open some factories that provide many people some works and for increasing their skill, they can join Balai Latihan Kerja (BLK). Indonesia can open many factories that less machine working, but use more human’s skill, for example jamu’s factory, textile factory and other factories.
Balai Latihan Kerja or BLK is a place to develop our skill. Many people are employed because they don’t have good skills. As we know, skill is the most important thing to get a good job, so the unemployed person can develop their skill there and get the suitable jobs easier.
