Abstract

This study aims to determine the magnitude of Indonesian Human Development Index (HDI) and other Southeast Asian countries, and explain its relationship with competitiveness in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). This research is an empirical study using secondary data from various relevant sources. The study conducted in 10 countries in Southeast Asia namely, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Phillipines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam PDR. The result of this study indicates that the HDI Indonesia, including the medium category is the lowest in the ASEAN-6 (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, Singapore, and Thailand). It is revealed that the cause is the low index of knowledge. Thus, only 33.1 percent is classified as educated skilled labor. This situation results in lower competitiveness of Indonesia compared with the other countries in Southeast Asia, especially the ASEAN-6. If it is not prevented, it will have an impact on other aspects. As a consequence, it will lower Indonesia's competitiveness in the future. One solution for Indonesia is to improve the educational sector.
