Therefore, this study identifies the problems of urban labor market in Indonesia, assesses the current policies and prospect of new policy related to labor in cities. The study conducted is based on data obtained from many professional reports and studies carried out by government institutions, enterprises, consortia, journals, and previous research, systemized and calculated by author, as well as literature related to this research. The result showed the significant effect of demographic factors in forming labor policies and the labor market in Indonesia. However, to harness the benefits of demographic dividend and a labor surplus, there is a need for significant investment in enhancing the capabilities, skills, and education of the workforce.
