In the midst of increasingly fierce competition, job applicants must be smart to improve skills. With the increasing number of residents in Jakarta, the competition to get a job is getting tighter. This certainly requires people who want to move to Jakarta should have a skill that qualified. If the population does not have enough skills, then he will not be able to compete with other job seekers. Even if he wants to make a small medium business, of course he must have enough capital. The risk, the cost of living in Jakarta is quite expensive to become venture capital.

Unemployment rate in Jakarta is still above the national unemployment rate of 5.61. In fact, DKI Jakarta occupies the 10th position for the province with the highest unemployment. The problems of employment in Jakarta are not fully resolved.

These migrants are mostly poor people who can not afford to build or buy decent housing for themselves. As a result there are slums and squatter settlements in government lands. Urban settlements in urban centers and homeless in the streets can damage existing facilities and infrastructure, such as sidewalks that should be used by pedestrians to be used as residence by urbanites. This causes the sidewalk to become soiled and damaged that it does not work anymore.
As a result many migrants build houses on unnecessary land, such as in areas that should be green open spaces or water catchment areas. Reduced land for this housing in addition to disturbing comfort can also lead to various problems, such as floods, increasing areas of landfills while in the middle of the settlement, and so forth.

We can not imagine how the current growth and state of Jakarta as well as other industrial centers in the world can be achieved if in the absence of urbanization. Certain groups argue that the process of urbanization is only a temporary phenomenon that does not impede development. And stressed that the city is a “leading sector” in economic, social and political change. Urbanization is an independent variable that promotes economic development.
