Then, the number of jobs will rise from 20 million to 30 million jobs by 2030. Manufacturing contribution to GDP will also increase from 16 percent to 25 percent by 2030.

One of the targets to be achieved through Making Indonesia 4.0 is Indonesia's entry into the world's top 10 economies by 2030. This is characterized by, first, 10 percent of export contribution to GDP. This will restore the position of net exports to Indonesia level as in 2000.
Second, increase productivity twice to cost. This is similar to what India does by increasing production through cost management.
Third, the budget allocation for research and development or Research and Development (R & D) increases to 2 percent of GDP. This will build local innovation capabilities and the level of Indonesia will be equivalent to China in terms of R & D.
The 4th industrial revolution era also had an impact, directly or indirectly, on the Indonesian economy. The immediate impact of revitalization in the manufacturing sector.
The indirect impacts are increased state financial strength, increased state expenditure, and increased investment and a better labor market.
