Internet, Consumption and Work Participation in Indonesia

English

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between consumption and internet literacy with work participation. Where internet literacy is indicated by internet users, consumption is the level of public consumption, work participation is labor absorption which has an impact on reducing unemployment. To achieve this goal, data on consumption, internet users, and work participation were observed. This study uses the Quantitative Threshold Autoregressive method which is used to predict the behavior of the data so that the behavior of the relationship between the data can be seen. All data are secondary data from world banks with an annual period of 2000 - 2019. We found that consumption can provide a demand signal impetus that encourages the real sector to increase production which is driven by an increase in internet use which is a demand-side boost with the existence of e-commerce and an increase in the absorption of new workers with the creation of new types of jobs as a result of internet technology
