No. 25 / 05 May 2021 - Indonesia’s Fiscal Challenge: A Robot Is Highly Productive

3 May 2021

The three are the centers of the new economy where the flows of digital-based goods and services are distributed to the rest of the world. [...] The first challenge is the decline of manufacturing, well-known as the de-industrialization. [...] The study found that a one-unit increase in robotics density is associated with a 0,04% increase in worker productivity.8 The same study found that investment in robots contributed 10% of growth in GDP per capita in OECD countries from 1993 to 2016. [...] It is clear that the usage of robots in manufacturing is a promising solution for Indonesia in increasing productivity.  However, as a promising solution, using robots massively in manufacturing has a challenging consequence. [...] The intentions of the policy combination have to both address the fiscal capacity problem and support workers to be more productive and resilient in facing challenges of robotics-based manufacturing.
