Abstract

Pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia ditandai dengan perubahan struktur ekonomi dan lapangan kerja dari yang semula berbasis pertanian menjadi non-pertanian, yang disebut transformasi struktural. Kajian ini membahas tentang fenomena titik balik dalam ketenagakerjaan yang merupakan salah satu tesis penting dalam kerangka analisis pembangunan ekonomi dualistik yang dirumuskan oleh Lewis (1954). Terkait dengan perubahan struktur ketenagakerjaan sektoral dan capaian titik balik, kajian ini menemukan bahwa Indonesia belum memasuki tahapan titik balik. Ketercapaian titik Balik Indonesia Indonesia cenderung bersifat sementara. Ditinjau dari dekomposisi pertumbuhan sektoral, kontribusi sektor non-pertanian terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dua kali lebih besar dibandingkan dengan sektor pertanian. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia sangat didorong oleh peran sektor nonpertanian. Kajian ini juga menemukan bahwa perpindahan tenaga kerja dari sektor pertanian ke non pertanian berdampak positif terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia.Indonesia’s economic development is marked by changes in the structure of the economy and employment from those originally based on agriculture to non-agriculture, which is called structural transformation. This study discusses the turning point phenomenon in employment which is one of the important theses in the dualistic economic development analysis framework formulated by Lewis (1954). Related to changes in the sectoral employment structure and the achievement of turning points, this study finds that Indonesia has not yet entered a turning point stage. The achievement of Lewis’s turning point in Indonesia tends to be temporary. Viewed from the decomposition of sectoral growth, the contribution of the non-agricultural sector to economic growth is two times greater than that of the agricultural sector. This shows that economic growth in Indonesia is strongly driven by the role of the non-agricultural sector. This study also found that layers of labor from the agricultural to non-agricultural sectors had a positive impact on economic growth in Indonesia
