Indonesia
ASM Population: 3,600,000
Recent assessment IDN-2020a appears coherent. → 3,600,000
Min/Max variation can be set very low, because assessment is recent. +/- 100,000 (~3%)
Female participation: 10% i.e. 360,000
Gold: ~1/4 of total miners in 2015; extrapolated to now ~ 900,000
Data sources for estimation
2020: 3,600,000
(IDN-2020a): 3,600,000: An estimated 3,600,000 people were working in the ASM in 2018. This number is twice that of the official 2018 figure 1,454,256 (Central Bureau of Statistics) for total individuals employed in the mining sector inclusive of both ASM and LSM.
About 10% of the total ASM worforce in Indonesia are woman. Based on the national data verification of 352 mining locations, gold accounted for a quarter of the minerals mined by ASM communities in 2015. (Note: at that time 1 Mio) ... In 2013...more than 300,000 people are directly employed in ASGM.
2014: 250,000
(UBC-14): Gold-only data produced by statistic modelling:
Expected ASM population: 250,000 Estimated ASM gold production: 20 t/a
2013: 109,000
(IIED-13): 109,000
2003: 109,000
(MMSD-03): Estimate for MMSD research country: 109,000

1999: 400,000
(ILO-99): Employment: 300,000 - 500,000
Number of mines: 77,000
Illegal mines: n/a
