Indonesia

The best countries to be a social entrepreneur 2019

2016 Rank: 17

Country summary

Indonesia entered the top-ten countries for social entrepreneurs to secure ninth place thanks to excellent conditions for starting and growing businesses for good, where it ranked second jointly with France. However, it fared poorly when it came to equal pay for female business leaders, dropping 22 places to 32nd.  

Expert view

"Social entrepreneurs in Indonesia are gaining momentum in the last four years with increased public understanding and help to sell to the public. More investments are coming following the government commitment to support."
