Aging population in Indonesia - statistics & facts
As Indonesia experiences a demographic dividend, with a significant portion of its population in the working-age category, the country must prepare for impending challenges. The share of elderly citizens has gradually increased over the past decade, intensified by the rising life expectancy and declining fertility rates. The current abundant productive-age population will inevitably enter the retirement age in the following years, and Indonesia will face a surge in its old population. This underscores the significance of anticipating the emergence of an aging population and its risks in the years to come.
