Jakarta – Vice President candidate number two Gibran Rakabuming Raka said that the digital downstreaming process requires young people who are experts in various fields related to technology.
“Digital downstreaming requires young people who are experts in the fields of data scientist, AI researcher, video game designer, UX designer, robotic engineer, machine learning engineer, fintech, cyber security, and others,” said Gibran at the event ‘Suara Muda untuk Prabowo-Gibran, Menjemput Indonesia Maju’ at the Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), Saturday (27/1).
Through downstreaming, Gibran said, around 19 million jobs will be opened for all groups, including the Z generation and disabled people in the next 5 years.
“The benefits of downstreaming will also create job opportunities for up to 19 million jobs in the next 5 years. This is an extraordinary opportunity, especially for the millennial generation, generation Z, women and also our disabled friends,” he said.
Indonesia’s opportunity to receive a ‘demographic bonus’ in 2030 must be utilized as much as possible. Therefore, Gibran suggested to continue sharpening skills that will be very useful in the future.
“The surplus of productive age human resources like this is a great blessing for our nation, which is called the demographic bonus peaking in 2030 and ending in 2045,” he added.
“Downstreaming will succeed if we as Indonesians continue to hone skills or abilities for the future,” he said emphatically. (SENOPATI)
