The ASEAN Economic Community was formed with the aim of achieving the perfection of economic integration in the ASEAN region which is believed to provide tangible benefits for all elements of society. On the other hand, the use of technology in the company will also affect how much work is needed. Technological sophistication alone does not necessarily result in a decrease in the number of workers. Technological progress will lead to better production results. This study uses a quantitative method with panel data secondary to the 2011-2015 period by combining 10 ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia). Labor and tourism influences on GDP are already good, but there are some countries that have to be improved again such as Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia. The policies of these three countries in the use of digital technology are expected to improve the welfare of the workforce. If digital technology has been implemented properly, all countries in ASEAN will get the same welfare.
