Based on BPS (2017), Indonesia had 8 million creative establishments in
2016. More than 90 percent of them were classified to micro and small
establishments whose workers were in average 1-4 workers.
In creative economy sector, the number youth as entrepreneurs has not
dominated both in micro and small establishment (MSE) and medium and
large establishment (MLE). Creative youthpreneur, 16-30 years old, was only
8,73 percent in 2016. The low dominance of young entrepreneur is indicated
by the age factor of young people who tend to be still in school age. Graph 1
shows that in range 16-30 years old, the number of creative youthpreneur is
increasing in line with the increasing of age’s entrepreneur. Although the
dominance of youthpreneur was generally low, the MLE (8,90 percent) had
higher dominance of youthpreneur than the MSE (8,71 percent).

Assessing creative economy sector in term of the perspective of the 4.0
Industrial Revolution can be conducted through the use of technology. BPS
(2018a) reveals that MSE in Indonesia still run the business conventionally.
This is shown by the low use of computer and internet in managing the
business. On the other hand, MLE shows higher use of computer and internet.
Graph 2 shows that young entrepreneur of MSE who uses computer and
internet for business is 21,58 percent. Otherwise, it is only 11,48 percent of the
group of non- young entrepreneur, whose age is over 30 years old, that uses
computer and internet. Although the number of youthpreneur hasn’t
dominated in creative economy sector, the use of computer and internet by
this group is higher than the non-youthpreneur group, both in MSE and MLE.
The higher use of computer and internet indicates that young entrepreneur is
more competent in applying technology to do the business than the non-
young entrepreneur group.
