This result implies that ACFTA will challenge the Indonesian</div><div>competitiveness due to increasing labour cost, while ACFTA also potentially increases capital</div><div>flow from China which has ambiguous impacts on labour absorption. The SWOT (Strength,</div><div>Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis recommends for Indonesian government to improve</div><div>comprehensive strategy of national industry to be more competitive to China products.</div><div><br /></div><div>Keywords: ACFTA, employment opportunity, structural equation model</div><div>JEL classification numbers: F13, F14, F15, F42</div> |
