Education is essential for developing labor in Indonesia. One type of formal education is madrasah education that has been historically significant in Indonesia which adds depth in Islamic subjects in addition to basic subjects. These graduates may become important as the Sharia industry continues to boom in Indonesia. However, madrasah education has shown weak labor market performances compared to general education, in terms of wages and unemployment. This may stem from a weak learning process in madrasahs which is against the 4th Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) about equitable education. With limited studies on madrasah education performance in the labor market, using 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey, we find: (1) madrasah education choice is influenced by parent’s education and appeals to low-income families, (2) madrasah graduates have lower probability of working compared to general education graduates, (3) return of madrasah education is lower compared to general education. Therefore, policies should improve madrasah education through improvement of teachers and institution quality, support and funding for private madrasahs, and supporting Madrasah Kejuruan.

教育对于在印度尼西亚发展劳动力至关重要。正规教育的一种类型是伊斯兰学校教育，在印度尼西亚历史上具有重要意义，除了基础学科外，它还增加了伊斯兰学科的深度。随着印尼伊斯兰教业的持续蓬勃发展，这些毕业生可能会变得很重要。但是，与工资水平和失业率相比，伊斯兰学校的劳动力市场表现较普通教育低。这可能是由于伊斯兰学校学习过程薄弱，这违背了关于公平教育的第四个可持续发展目标（SDGs）。通过对2014年印度尼西亚家庭生活调查的关于劳动力市场上的伊斯兰学校教育表现的有限研究，我们发现：（1）伊斯兰学校教育选择受到父母的教育的影响，并且对低收入家庭具有吸引力。（2）与普通教育毕业生相比，伊斯兰学校毕业生的工作可能性较低；（3）与普通教育相比，伊斯兰学校的教育回报较低。因此，政策应该改善穆斯林学校通过提高教师和机构的质量，支持教育和私立伊斯兰学校的资助，并支持伊斯兰学院Kejuruan。
