The Role of Cooperative in the Indonesian Economy

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate descriptively the existence and role of cooperatives in the Indonesian economy. In 2016, the number of cooperatives in Indonesia reached 212,135 units with a total membership of 15% of the total population of Indonesia. 30% of cooperatives in Indonesia have been inactive for various reasons. The cooperative has contributed less than 2% to the Indonesia's gross domestic product and offered 0.5% job vacancy for the entire working population of Indonesia. The following suggestion is provided for further enhancing the contribution of the cooperative to the Indonesian economy, namely: (1) Increasing the participation of cooperative members; (2) Providing a conducive climate for cooperatives, access to finance and business development; (3) Increasing counseling and training for managers, supervisors and apparatus for co-operatives; and (4) Encouraging Micro-Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to establish secondary cooperatives.
