The Individual and Contextual Factors of Precarious Employee Status of Youth Workers in Indonesia 2024: Application Multilevel Binary Logistic Regression

Abstract

Human resources are a strategic component for countries in achieving development
goals and promoting progress. Among age groups, youth play an important role as drivers of a
country's development. However, the challenge of obtaining decent work is a serious problem
that causes many youth people in Indonesia to be forced into precarious employment. In the last
four years, the Precarious Employment Rate (PER) of youth people in Indonesia in 2024 has
increased dramatically compared to the previous year, even becoming the highest among all age
groups. This study aims to determine the general picture and analyze the individual and
contextual factors that influence the status of precarious employees among youth workers in
Indonesia. The analysis method used is multilevel binary logistic regression. The results of the
study show that 85.97 percent of youth workers in Indonesia have precarious employee status.
The analysis shows that individual factors such as gender, marital status, education level,
participation in training, regional classification, employment sector, labor union membership,
and contextual factors such as the provincial minimum wage have a significant effect on the
precarious employee status of youth workers in Indonesia in 2024.
