Number of elderly population Indonesia 2013-2022

As of 2022, Indonesia’s senior population amounted to nearly 19 million. The number of elderly citizens has gradually increased over the past decade. As Indonesia is entering a demographic dividend period where a working-age population dominates the country, it is expected that by the end of this phase, Indonesia will see a surge in the share of its old-age population. Indonesia’s demographic shift Contrary to some Asian countries that are trying to accelerate their population growth, the Indonesian government has been trying to persuade its citizens to have fewer children. Many initiatives in promoting family planning and later marriages have led to a more controlled population growth. However, the country is expected to face a demographic shift in the upcoming years, with projections indicating that the elderly population will make up 20 percent of the country’s population in 2045. Considering this, the Indonesian government has been reassessing its family planning initiatives to better prepare for the risks of an aging population. Retirement readiness among the society  Indonesia still has a relatively low literacy rate for pension funds and a significantly lower inclusion rate of only slightly over five percent. In conjunction with this, only roughly 11 percent of the elderly households in Indonesia were part of social security programs, and a large share of the country’s senior citizens live in three-generation households. These concerns tend to expose Indonesia to higher dependency risks among its aging population. Indeed, it is crucial to address the need to increase awareness of and enhance accessibility to pension funds or social security programs for adequate retirement planning in Indonesian society.

截至2022年，印度尼西亚的老年人口已接近1900万。在过去十年中，老年公民的数量逐渐增加。随着印度尼西亚步入劳动力人口主导的国家的人口红利时期，预计到这一阶段结束时，印度尼西亚老龄人口的比例将急剧上升。与一些试图加速其人口增长的亚洲国家相反，印度尼西亚政府一直在努力劝说其公民减少生育。推广家庭规划和晚婚的众多举措导致了人口增长的有序控制。然而，预计该国在未来几年将面临人口结构转变，预测表明到2045年，老年人口将占国家总人口的20%。鉴于此，印度尼西亚政府一直在重新评估其家庭规划举措，以更好地为老龄化人口的风险做好准备。社会退休准备情况印度尼西亚在养老金基金方面的识字率相对较低，仅有略超过五 percent 的参与率。与此相关，印度尼西亚大约只有11 percent 的老年家庭参与了社会保障计划，大量国家老年公民生活在三代同堂的家庭中。这些担忧往往使印度尼西亚面临老龄化人口中更高的依赖风险。事实上，解决在印尼社会中提高对养老金基金或社会保障计划的认知并提升其可及性以满足充分退休规划的需求至关重要。
