3 Indonesia is facing population structural changes, over the last 4 years we gained 2 years in life expectancy 3

4 Indonesia is currently reaping the benefits of the demographic dividend Number of population 255,1 Million Total Fertility Rates at National and Selected Provinces, Early 197s: The start of village based contraceptie delivery Papua 2,59 (215) Life expectancy increased to 7,8 years Most of population lives in city (53,1% ) Indonesia had one of the strongest and most successful national planning initiatives in the world. Early 7s program on family planning resulted more than half a reduction of number of children per woman. Big variations still occur among provinces.

Women s participation is stagnant at less than 5% Number of elderly (65+) is 13,7 Milliion; 24% of them still working (65+) and 16% of 75+ 4

5 Uneven Population Density, Distribution, and Demographic Transition: Some regions are already experiencing an aging population targeted specific interventions are required for each province Late transition Below replacement rate TFR, large share of older population, window of opportunity has passed Early transition 55,2 MIO 114,8 PEOPLE/KM2 15,3 MIO 28,2 PEOPLE/KM2 18,7 MIO 99,2 PEOPLE/KM2 Increasing share of children and working population, older people start to increase Pre-transition stagnant declining fertility, later period of window opportunity Uncertainty to reach the window of opportunity 149 MIO 1,13 PEOPLE/KM2 9,9 MIO 147 PEOPLE/KM2 6,9 MIO 13,8 PEOPLE/KM2 High fertility, high mortality, low access to education and health, Sources: 1.

7 Mortality declining, life expectancy growing: health expenses start to increase. In 214 Indonesia introduced a National Health Insurance scheme.5 Per capita Consumption of health by single age, Per capita Consumption of health by single age, private health public health public health private health Focus on infant mortality rate, improving nutrition, and reproductive health Inclusion of health indicators into SDGs to promote healthy lifestyles Promoting healthy and happy elderly populations Indonesia s health pattern has gradually shifted from communicable to non-communicable diseases Although it is not as significant as education expenditures, budget allocations for health have increased 7 Sources: BPS, Bappenas, authors calculation using National Transfers Account

8 Million People Number of Jobs Created (Million) Unemployment Rate (%) With an increasing working age population, we need more quality jobs: the challenge is encouraging collaboration amongst government, private sector, and communities Economic Growth vs Number of Jobs Created, Economic Growth and Unemployment Rate, % y = x R² = % 8% % -1% -5% % 5% 1% 15% -1 Economic Growth (%) % R² =.261 4% 2% % -15% -1% -5% % 5% 1% 15% Economic Growth (%) Indonesia starts to experience growing number in working age population. In the last five years, there has been an unstable jobs creation, compare to levels of high economic growth Unemployment rates and number of unemployed declines. However, there are still more than 32 million workers working less than 35 hours per week More than half of informal workers Sources: National Statistics Bureau, Bappenas, various years Part-timer/ Voluntarary unemployed Half-unemployed/ Forced unemployed % out of total workers 8

9 In the last two years, inequality has started to gradually decline Asian Financial Crisis Start declining Sources: Central Statistic Office, several years Indonesia s economic growth has played an important role in reducing poverty and increasing the populations standard of living Along with high economic growth, especially during 199 s and early 2s, there were trends of increasing inequality. The commodity boom in the early 2 was one of the main causes of the increasing inequality Jobs created still in favor those in the highest quintile contributing to high income disparity between the richest and the poorest

11 Future Trends Indonesia s population will continue to increase but with at slowing down rate, along with rapid urbanization. Demographic dividend will reach the peak by 23. Working population starts to decline. Indonesia will shift from a situation of population mobility to non-permanent mobility (Population Dynamic, UNFPA 215) 11

13 Towards sustainable consumption and production Per capita Consumption and Production by single age, Indonesia (212) compared to the USA (21) value is divided by production of Improving competitiveness, years of education, and relevance to jobs requirement Improving productivity, maintaining the peak Improving the elderly productivity, coverage of social security so do not fall to poverty USA consumption with large health expenses Indonesia needs to maintain most suitable and sustainable consumption Sources: authors calculation based on National Transfers Account (NTA) methodology Over a decade, productivity has experienced positive change. However there is room for improvement. A fully implemented social security system may also shift the shape of old age labor income and consumption. Life-cycle financial sustainability and intergenerational financing Sustainability of environment 13

15 Cutting the intergenerational cycle of inequality: strategies for inclusive growth Medium Term Development Plan (RPJMN) INCLUSIVE GROWTH (optimize economic growth potential, created as many as good jobs, pro-poor) Increasing job opportunities and job intensive investment Special intention to micro and small enterprises Nurture the growth of new entreupreunerships Strengthen the economy of the villages Improved access to basic services for the poorest 4% Reduce the burden of the poor and vulnerable 15
