Gibran Rakabuming Raka, the vice presidential candidate number two, 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 field of data science, 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 job opportunities will be opened for all groups, including Generation Z to people with disabilities in the next 5 years.
“The benefits of downstreaming will also create up to 19 million job opportunities in the next 5 years. This is an extraordinary opportunity especially for the millennial generation, Generation Z, women, and also friends with disabilities,” he said.
Indonesia’s opportunity to receive a ‘demographic bonus’ in 2030 must be utilized to the maximum. Therefore, Gibran suggested constantly honing 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, known as the demographic bonus, reaching its peak 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 firmly. (SENOPATI)
