The report *Indonesia Economic Inequality 2026: Republic of Oligarchy* lays bare a clear reality: inequality in Indonesia is worsening and becoming harder to justify.
The wealth of the 50 richest people is equal to that of 55 million Indonesians. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are barely rising as the wealth of the richest continues to grow rapidly.
This report explains why. The issue is not just the market, but how the economic and political system works. Wealth is concentrated in extractive sectors such as mining and energy, and the same groups also wield political power in both government and parliament.
As a result, many policies fail to reflect the needs of the majority. Inequality is not accidental—it is produced and maintained.
The impacts are real: workers need decades, even centuries, to catch up; young people struggle to afford housing; and informal workers lack protection.
This report is not just meant to be read—it is meant to drive change.
