Average monthly net wage Indonesia 2024, by sector

As of February 2024, the financial and insurance services sector was the highest-paying sector in Indonesia, with an average monthly net wage of about 5.15 million Indonesian rupiah. By comparison, the agricultural sector was the lowest-paying sector. However, when it comes to the number of people employed, the reverse is true. Lowest wages for the largest sector of employmentIn 2023, the agricultural sector employed more than 39 million of workers, compared to the approximately one million people employed in the information and communication industry. Although employment in agriculture has been declining over the past few years, it still makes up the biggest share of workers in Indonesia. With the concentration of the agricultural industry in rural areas, this creates a large disparity in purchasing power between the rural and urban populations. Disparity between urban and rural incomesAlthough the cost of living in the countryside in Indonesia was significantly lower than in the cities and urban centers like Jakarta, there was also a significant difference in the availability of better-paid work. Those employed in the information and communication sector in the urban areas can expect over two million rupiah more than those employed in this same sector in rural areas. This discrepancy in job quality and wages significantly impacted poverty levels, with rural areas experiencing a higher share of the population living below the poverty line.

截至2024年2月，印度尼西亚的金融和保险服务业已成为收入最高的行业，平均月薪约为515万印尼盾。相比之下，农业行业则是收入最低的行业。然而，在就业人数方面，情况则相反。在2023年，农业行业吸纳了超过3900万劳动者，而信息与通信行业的就业人数约为100万人。尽管近年来农业就业人数有所下降，但它仍然占据了印度尼西亚劳动者最大的份额。由于农业产业主要集中在农村地区，这导致了城乡之间购买力的巨大差异。城乡收入差距尽管在印度尼西亚农村的生活成本显著低于城市和像雅加达这样的城市中心，但更好的收入工作机会的可获得性也存在显著差异。在城市的通信和信息行业工作的雇员，其收入预计将比在农村地区从事相同行业的雇员高出超过200万印尼盾。这种工作质量和工资的差距显著影响了贫困水平，农村地区贫困人口的比例更高。
