Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Despite being rooted in the Indonesian context (with over 20% youth unemployment in some regions), this book addresses a global phenomenon: 1 in 5 Gen-Z individuals worldwide now falls into the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) category. This is not just an economic crisis; it's a crisis of narrative and life meaning. TikTok isn't the primary cause-it's a symptom of educational and labor systems crumbling in the face of algorithms.In a world increasingly dominated by algorithms and the attention economy, we are witnessing a quiet yet profound crisis: the systemic distortion of youth aspirations and the impediment of human capital development. While technology promises unprecedented access to information and opportunities, it simultaneously creates perverse incentives, diverting young people from meaningful and productive careers towards pursuits that are quick, highly visible, yet of low value. This book argues that the digital age is not merely a technological revolution, but a narrative revolution, where algorithmic power actively shapes our collective understanding of success, work, and value, often to the detriment of societal progress.This crisis is acutely felt in the Global South, where a significant "demographic bonus"-a large and young working-age population-risks becoming a demographic liability if their immense potential is misdirected. In Indonesia, for example, we observe a worrying trend where the aspirations of millions are reshaped by the allure of viral fame, neglecting the pursuit of essential skills and substantive contributions to the real economy.
