Peningkatan Kompetensi Ekonomi Generasi Muda dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Global

Abstract

The acceleration of globalization, the development of digital technology, and the dynamics of
the international market require young people to possess economic competencies that go beyond
mere theoretical knowledge. They need to master practical skills, financial literacy, an
entrepreneurial spirit, and the ability to utilize digital technology. This article discusses
strategies for improving the economic competency of young people through contextual economic
learning, strengthening financial literacy from an early age, developing entrepreneurship,
utilizing digital technology, experiential learning, and building character and ethics. The case
study of Gojek's success demonstrates that with knowledge, creativity, and the courage to take
risks, young people can create innovative solutions that have a broad social and economic
impact. Thus, strong economic competency can equip young people to be competitive,
independent, and able to face global challenges..
