The research method used is descriptive research by analyzing the existence and human resources development of Indonesian towards ASEAN. This study uses data sourced from the world bank, Human Development Report (HDR), and the World Economic Forum (WEF). There are three measuring tools that serve as guidelines for measuring human resource quality, namely the Human Development Index (HDI) and Human Capital Index (HCI) and Global Human Capital (HCI). The results of this study indicate that the quality of life of the population, quality of work, and work productivity of Indonesian human resources are lower than those of Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.
