The study revealed that PT Freeport Indonesia contributed to up to 94.7 percent of the gross domestic product of the Mimika Regency, 45.4 percent of Papua Province, and 0.8 percent of Indonesia. The prior study, conducted in 2009, concluded that the multiplier effect of PTFI’s workforce created 227,000 direct and indirect work opportunities, including 128,000 direct and indirect work opportunities in Papua alone.
