This study examines the labour market outcomes of the recent economic crisis ( krismon ) in Indonesia, focusing on the change of employment structure between 1997 and 1998.

Labour has moved from “modern” economic sectors to agricultural and “informal” sectors, reflecting the strategy of poor households to cope with the hardship.
