Summary
Unlike its rapidly ageing neighbours, Indonesia has a relatively young population. Yet, many are trapped in the sandwich generation dilemma - financially squeezed between raising young families and supporting ageing parents who lack pensions. To survive, rural youths often migrate to cities for low-wage jobs, leaving them unable to save for their own future retirement.
In rural Indonesia, social enterprise Komerce is disrupting this cycle of poverty. It trains youths in high-demand digital skills such as e-commerce management and livestreaming - allowing them to earn competitive wages from their villages and build their own financial safety nets.
Can remote digital work be the key to ending the cycle of dependency for Indonesia’s next generation of retirees?
