Synopsis

Indonesia may have a relatively young population, but its sandwich generation is under growing pressure to support ageing parents, often while facing limited job opportunities themselves.

In this final episode of “Changing Ageing in Asia”, we follow Komerce, a social enterprise bringing digital skills training and remote jobs directly to rural communities, allowing youth to build careers without leaving home. Komerce is a 2020 recipient of the DBS Foundation Grant.

Through their work, we see how empowering young people with digital livelihoods enables them to care for three generations, proving that supporting ageing families and building the future don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Watch this episode to see how Komerce is helping rural communities unlock opportunity – and what it means for ageing families across Indonesia.
