SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Indonesia is about to enter on its second Twenty-Five-Year Plan, during which it hopes to undergo rapid industrialization. This article reviews the country's situation with respect to changes in the education and demographic behavior of its population, and the interaction between them and the labor market and development, particularly in comparison to other countries in East and Southeast Asia. Some opportunities and problems, and possible policy responses to them, are identified and discussed.
