Summary
Based on BPS report in 2010-2015, the average national open unemployment rate is 6.43%. The unemployment rate of higher education in Indonesia tends to increase because the student’s desire to open a new business is very low. According to Indarti & Rostiani, (2008) student’s entrepreneurship intention in Indonesia is low It has an impact on the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia which is only 1.65% of the total population (Repulika.co.id, 2015). According to Mc Clelland, one factor to make a developed country realized faster is when the number of entrepreneurs in the country amounted to at least 2% of total population. This condition differs considerably from Singapore where7.2% of its citizens work as entrepreneurs.
