Born into a Javanese family, Wilopo attended the Technische Hoogeschool in Bandung, before studying law at the Rechts Hogeschool in Batavia (now Jakarta) and becoming active in the nationalist movement. During the Japanese occupation, he became an official in the military government. After the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence in 1945, Wilopo helped found the Indonesian National Party (PNI) and joined the Republican government, becoming secretary-general of the labour ministry and later the junior minister of labour. During the subsequent Indonesian National Revolution, he was arrested by the Dutch following their offensive into Republican territory. Upon his release, Wilopo took part in the Round Table Conference which recognized the sovereignty of a federal Indonesia in 1949. He went on to become minister of labour in the federal cabinet that same year.
