Abstract

The empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) has recently attracted the attention of the Indonesian government. Several initiatives have been made to empower their life, especially the establishment of Act No. 8/2016 which enhances their right to inclusive economic activities. This study aims to map PWD in Indonesian labor market. Specifically, it analyzes the characteristics of employed and unemployed PWD. It explored Labor Force Survey (Sakernas), which began to concern on disability issue in 2016. The results show that PWD prevalence varies highly among provinces led by West Sumatera, East Nusa Tenggara, and South Sulawesi and that PWD has lower labor participation rate than that of PWOD. It may indicate the significant presence of discouraged workers among PWD.

Bahasa Abstract

Pemerintah Indonesia telah menaruh perhatian atas pemberdayaan penyandang disabilitas. Beberapa inisiatif telah dilakukan, terutama melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 8/2016 yang meningkatkan hak mereka atas kegiatan ekonomi inklusif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan penyandang disabilitas di pasar tenaga kerja Indonesia. Secara khusus, penelitian ini menganalisis karakteristik penyandang disabilitas yang bekerja dan menganggur menggunakan data Survei Angkatan Kerja Nasional yang mulai memperhatikan masalah disabilitas sejak 2016. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan penyandang disabilitas sangat bervariasi, dengan jumlah tertinggi di Sumatera Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur, dan Sulawesi Selatan, dan bahwa penyandang disabilitas memiliki tingkat partisipasi angkatan kerja yang lebih rendah daripada non-penyandang. Hal ini mengindikasikan keberadaan pekerja yang putus asa yang signifikan di kalangan penyandang disabilitas.
