Life is getting more advanced and evolving, everything can be done easily and quickly. Right now, the world has entered the era of industrial revolution 4.0 to industry 5.0 which means technology is the main component of human life so people can live more effectively. As a form humans are expected to create new things through the development of technology. In industry 5.0, the world attempts to realize the advancement of digital technology as well as the progress of social economists of society. In 2019, for the first time, Japan introduced Industry 5.0 which develops technology along with the humanitarian side.

As a developing country, Indonesia is trying to keep up with developments in the global world. Indonesia has begun to adapt by continuing to advance the digital infrastructure and create new efficient policies. The Indonesian government also works together to encourage the development of digital technology to educate and improve people's welfare.

The Minister of Communication and Informatics said that the government has new programs in the sector of digital technology that will continue to grow. As technology advances, we need to increase the use of human resources. Indonesia must have human resources that are able to compete in the global region to face the future.

The government has high hopes for young Indonesians to participate in digital transformation. People used to call it millennials. However, can young Indonesians do it?

Some people doubt it because of the attitude of the youth who increasingly do not show their sense of share in the development of the country. Based on research published by the British Medical Journal and the Indonesian Journal of Nutrition, 57% of young people in Indonesia have lazy characteristics. This trait will certainly have an impact on social problems in society.

The young generation of Indonesia must be ready for the country’s future. To prevent many youth who are increasingly ignorant and have a sense of laziness, they must prevent it by having a critical attitude toward the mind that moves the nation forward. In my opinion, young Indonesians can prepare for industry 5.0. This is proven by the young people who have made Indonesia proud, both nationally and internationally. We can see how the millennial generation is still fighting for the name of their nation. The younger generation must believe that they can adapt and compete in the field of technology and information which will be more advanced in the next few years.

To prepare Indonesia for industry 5.0, young people must be open to receiving a piece of new knowledge, support and keep up with the times, use technology as well as possible, have good leadership and language skills, have skills in IT technology, and can maintain of

technology systems. In addition, the main component that must be prepared is human resources. The role of humans is very important as a renewal to produce new things and cooperation in information systems and technology. Therefore, the younger generation must prepare themselves by having a high sense of enthusiasm to advance the country.

In facing industry 5.0, education is important for improving the quality of human resources. Education works as a place to prepare youth careers so they are ready to be competent in the future. From there, millennials will gain the ability to solve problems and provide solutions and think critically so that they will continue to seek information and create innovations. Nowadays to learn higher-order thinking skills in order to be prepared to respond to global challenges. So in the industry era 5.0, the younger generation must have an attitude and think ahead but not forget the identity of the Indonesian nation. Towards Indonesia Golden era in 2045, the government needs to prepare the next generation that can lead Indonesia forward. By over 2045, the government hopes that Indonesia will be able to achieve human development and control over science and technology, sustainable economic development, equitable development, and stabilization of national resilience and governance.

Therefore, young Indonesians must have the same vision and mission by working together, being wise in acting, and honing their skills.

The career of young people becomes the determining factor in the integrity of the Indonesian nation for the future. Indonesia must utilize the potential possessed by young people both in terms of quantity and quality. Indonesian youth must have new digital innovations which can be the capital to face the industrial era 5.0. Digital innovation must be capable of keeping pace with current social changes. Young people must prepare themselves to compete and succeed in the industry 5.0.
