Abstract

Indonesia post-crisis manufacturing growth has been dominated by technologically sophisticated industry. Hypothetically, this development would increase the demand for skilled and more specialized workers like vocational school graduates. However, statistical evidences show that manufacturing sophistication stimulated by integration with the Global Production Network increase demand for vocational as well as general high school graduates. Moreover, higher demand does not necessarily result in sustainable career prospect, as many vocational graduates still have limited opportunity to improve their skills while climbing the seniority ladder possibly caused by shifting Global Value Chain from export-oriented toward domestic market-oriented that affect the industry's technological complexity.

Bahasa Abstract

Setelah krisis finansial 1998, pertumbuhan sektor manufaktur Indonesia didominasi oleh industri berteknologi mutakhir, misalnya industri mesin dan perlengkapannya. Secara teoritis, perkembangan ini akan meningkatkan permintaan terhadap tenaga kerja berkeahlian khusus, seperti lulusan sekolah menengah kejuruan. Bukti-bukti statistik menunjukkan bahwa permintaan tenaga kerja dengan pendidikan menengah kejuruan maupun menengah umum memang meningkat. Namun, peningkatan ini tidak selalu diikuti dengan prospek karir yang menunjang. Tenaga kerja dengan pendidikan menengah kejuruan memiliki kesempatan yang terbatas untuk meningkatkan keahlian mereka ketika menjejaki tangga karir senioritas. Hal ini mungkin disebabkan oleh pergeseran pada posisi mata rantai nilai global Indonesia dari mata rantai yang berorientasi ekspor menjadi pasar domestik, dan perubahan ini berdampak pada karakteristik teknologi yang digunakan.
