This article reports the results of a study on how to fill the free
market program of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).
Indonesia has significant demographic bonus when compared to
other ASEAN countries, so that specifically Indonesia will become
an easy target for economic activity (read: free market flow
transactions) carried out by all members of ASEAN. Demographic
bonus is an opportunity and challenge for the Indonesian people,
both for those who live in cities or in the countryside. This
condition will be more complicated, if the mapping potential of
the population does not become a serious concern for the
government and stakeholders so that the people of Indonesia will
become the largest consumer for products of ASEAN countries.
One of the potential populations of Indonesia is women, because
they have specific skills that are able to be directed towards an
income. The purpose of this study is to prepare the people of
Indonesia who have the skills, especially women in entering the
AEC both urban and rural communities. This study uses a
qualitative method of observation, interviews and review of
documents, such as books, newspapers and others.
