EVERYONE SHOULD BE AN ENTREPRENEUR

Everyone Should Be An Entrepreneur

To reach high profit in business, being an entrepreneur is not bad idea. Entrepreneur is the one who have new innovation to be created as new things that will be recognized as the risk taker and failures in around perceived opportunities. (PIÇAK, 2011) To be an entrepreneur is not a simple thing because it has high risk and not all of people will be brave to take the risk. Besides it has high risk, it must have high opportunities to start a success. There are some countries that has been a developed country which has high number of GNP (Gross National Product) and GDP (Gross Domestic Product) because of entrepreneurship. United States, Japan, and Germany are some of the examples, these are counted as developed country because many people choose to be entrepreneur which has large benefit and profit that can lead to the increase of total GNP (USnews, 2017). Therefore, there are three main reasons why everyone should be an entrepreneur

First, Indonesia is a developing country that lack of entrepreneur. By adding 2% entrepreneurs, Indonesia may be able to be a developed country which is able to prosper. (Furnito, 2015). According to thejakartapost.com we can see that Indonesia need to be developed country to make the life of people is prosper. The total amount of people in Indonesia is around 252.20 million (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2017). It means Indonesia needs 2% of 252.20 million people to be entrepreneurs which needs around 5,050 people more to be entrepreneur.

Second, the dependency ration in Indonesia is quiet high. It takes around 47.7% which means the number of unproductive people is higher than productive people 47.7% (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2017). In this case Indonesia need to increase the number of entrepreneur to make sure that productive ages can cover all the unproductive people’s need. By being entrepreneur, the profit taken may be increase and it influences the dependency ration for Indonesia itself.

Third, Indonesia is facing Bonus Demography (Demographic Dividend). It is a condition when Indonesia has large number of productive ages / working ages that may be covering all the unproductive age’s needs (Behrman, 2015). By having large working ages Indonesia can increase the number of entrepreneur and it will add the GNP and value of Indonesia itself. Imagine if all the productive ages in Indonesia becoming entrepreneur. Actually we need only around 5,050 people to be entrepreneur but when all of the working ages that stated in Demographic Dividend. It is a big opportunity for Indonesia to maximize the potential we have. Demography Dividend will be only until 2030, it can be forecasted that after 2030 the economic of Indonesia may be stable.

Being an entrepreneur is a big risk and big opportunities. Just the way people think and be brave for any risk they may get both before or after. Some people may think that not everyone should be an entrepreneur because they have their own uniqueness and capability. Not all of people will capable to be an entrepreneur and they may choose their own way to get a job. But however until 2030 is Indonesia’s big opportunity to repair all the things due to the development of economic itself. By using their capability and uniqueness they can be whatever they want and apply this to be an entrepreneur. However to create and repair all the things to be good must need sacrifice at least until 2030, at the end they will choose rather to stay become an entrepreneur or turn back for what they had been before.

In every statement and ideas there must be some arguments. Indonesia is currently lack of entrepreneur, while we are also developed country as this far. To make Indonesia become developed country is the responsibility of the people too, not only the government. So there must be cooperation between people and government to create this new thing in Indonesia by being entrepreneur. If there are only 5,050 people needed to become entrepreneur, imagine if 100 million people with working ages become entrepreneur, Indonesia will be a very developed country and high economic development rate. That is why in order to maximize the existence of Demography Dividend until 2030, everyone should be an entrepreneur.
