Transisi dari mahasiswa menjadi pekerja sangat menegangkan bagi para fresh graduate yang lulus di masa krisis pengangguran akibat pandemi COVID-19. Namun, masih ada kekurangan studi dan bukti tentang coping strategy untuk krisis pengangguran di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran unemployment normalization (normalisasi pengangguran) terhadap well-being lulusan baru di Indonesia. Data dikumpulkan secara online dan menargetkan lulusan baru yang menganggur dari seluruh Indonesia (N=158), mulai dari yang baru lulus hingga yang menganggur setelah tiga tahun lulus. Analisis regresi dilakukan untuk menguji variabel bebas dan variabel terikat. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa unemployment normalization memainkan peran penting pada kesejahteraan lulusan baru. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa lama menganggur menunjukkan hasil kesejahteraan yang berbeda.

The transition from students to workers has been very stressful for the fresh graduates who graduate during unemployment crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is still lack of study and evidence on coping strategy for unemployment crisis in Indonesia. This study is aimed to investigate the role of unemployment normalization on well-being among fresh graduates in Indonesia. Data is collected online and targeted unemployed fresh graduates from across Indonesia (N=158), ranging from freshly graduated to unemployed after three years of graduate. Regression analysis was conducted to test independent variable and dependent variable. Results show that unemployment normalization plays a significant role on fresh graduate's well-being. In addition, this study also found that the length of unemployment shows different well-being results.
