Entrepreneurs More Skeptical in Responding to the Pandemic

The Kompas Research and Development survey showed that amid the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurs are more skeptical, cautious and have a larger number of concerns.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The COVID-19 pandemic, which has been going on for almost a year and a half, has torn the social and economic life of the nation. The results of the Kompas Research and Development survey in July showed that groups of entrepreneurs or businesspeople seemed more skeptical in facing this pandemic than non-workers and workers.

The burden of the group of entrepreneurs is indeed twofold. Entrepreneurs must ensure that their businesses continue to run while still fulfilling the rights of their employees. The confidence level of this group to survive through the pandemic was reflected in the figure of 81.3 percent.
