Abstract
In 2020, Statistics Indonesia revealed that one of two older people is still working. Based on the region, the proportion of older people who are working in rural areas is higher than in urban areas. This chapter aims to describes the socio-demographic characteristics of the Indonesian older workers by region area. Data of this chapter were based on the research about the quality of older people life conducted by The National Research and Innovation Agency and BPS data. The results show that the Indonesian older worker are vulnerable workers (both in urban and rural areas). The older workers in the rural areas have a worse condition due to lower wages, longer working hours, and lower health insurance ownership while the older workers in the urban mostly filled the service sector. Creating decent jobs for older people is an important thing to do considering that the older people in Indonesia still have the capacity and good physical condition to work.
