(2016) predicts that, by 2025, digitalization will have an impact of 150 billion US dollars (US) and additional jobs for 3.7 million people. This potential can be seen from, among other things, the number of start-up technology companies (or commonly referred to as startups) which is growing significantly.). Das et al. (2018) also projects that the potential for electronic commerce (e-commerce) in Indonesia in 2022 will reach 55 billion to 65 billion dollars. The impact will be felt on the absorption of labor, including female workers. This calculation gives great hope for Indonesia to accelerate its economic growth.
