Respondent characteristics.

Statistics from the 2018 National Social and Economic Survey revealed that one out of nine young females in Indonesia have been in female child marriage, and the prevalence remains high. Considering the serious consequences of female child marriage and that Sustainable Development Goal 5 on gender equality has targeted the elimination of female child marriage by 2030, a study concerning the prevalence and determinants of female child marriage needs to be conducted in Indonesia. In this paper, we examined the prevalence of and factors associated with female child marriage in Indonesia using binary logistic regression. We examined data from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2017. A sample of 9,333 young females aged 15–20 years was included in the study. Our analysis involved descriptive and binary logistic regression analysis. The results are presented in percentages and odds ratios (OR), with their respective confidence intervals. Our findings indicate that health insurance and sex of household head did not significantly influence female child marriage. The prevalence of female child marriage in Indonesia was quite high, reaching about 12.53%. Females with no education [OR = 76.448; (CI = 29.73–196.70)], not working [OR = 1.662; (CI = 1.41–1.94)], those with the poorest wealth index [OR = 3.215; (CI = 2.336–4.425)], those living in the east of Indonesia [OR = 1.451; (CI = 1.132–1.862)], and those living in rural areas [OR = 0.718; (CI = 0.609–0.844)] had the higher odds of experiencing female child marriage. Meanwhile, females with a secondary education level [OR = 16.296; (CI = 11.098–23.930)], those with a rich wealth index [OR = 1.940; (CI = 1.404–2.681)], and those living in the middle of Indonesia [OR = 1.263; (CI = 1.074–1.487)] were less likely to experience female child marriage. Educational background was the most significant factor influencing the high prevalence of female child marriage in Indonesia. Female empowerment through education as well as poverty alleviation were factors that could be strengthened to ensure that female child marriage is reduced or eliminated in Indonesia. Equality of access to information and better quality of education also need to be prioritized.

2018年全国社会经济调查（National Social and Economic Survey）数据显示，印度尼西亚每9名年轻女性中就有1人曾遭遇女性童婚，且该现象的流行率仍处于较高水平。鉴于女性童婚所带来的严重后果，以及旨在到2030年消除女性童婚的性别平等可持续发展目标5（Sustainable Development Goal 5），印度尼西亚亟需开展针对女性童婚流行率及其影响因素的研究。本研究采用二元逻辑回归（binary logistic regression）分析法，探讨了印度尼西亚女性童婚的流行情况及其相关影响因素。本研究使用2017年印度尼西亚人口与健康调查（Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey）的数据，研究样本涵盖9333名年龄介于15至20岁的年轻女性。本研究的分析方法包括描述性分析与二元逻辑回归分析，结果以百分比、比值比（odds ratios, OR）及其对应置信区间（confidence intervals, CI）进行呈现。研究结果显示，医疗保险与户主性别对女性童婚并无显著影响。印度尼西亚女性童婚的流行率较高，约达12.53%。未接受任何教育[OR = 76.448; CI = 29.73–196.70]、无业[OR = 1.662; CI = 1.41–1.94]、财富指数最低[OR = 3.215; CI = 2.336–4.425]、居住在印度尼西亚东部地区[OR = 1.451; CI = 1.132–1.862]以及居住在农村地区[OR = 0.718; CI = 0.609–0.844]的女性，其遭遇女性童婚的风险更高。与此同时，具有中等教育水平[OR = 16.296; CI = 11.098–23.930]、拥有较高财富指数[OR = 1.940; CI = 1.404–2.681]以及居住在印度尼西亚中部地区[OR = 1.263; CI = 1.074–1.487]的女性，其遭遇女性童婚的可能性更低。教育背景是影响印度尼西亚女性童婚高流行率的最显著因素。可通过强化教育赋能女性以及扶贫工作，以推动印度尼西亚女性童婚的减少乃至消除。此外，还需优先保障信息获取的平等性，并提升教育质量。
