9.2% of Indonesian Households Still Shared Toilets in 2020

The Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) reports that the majority of the population has healthy toilets with a "goose neck" construction and located inside their homes. This is reflected in the proportion of permanent healthy toilet (JSP) users, which reaches 72.3%.

18.5% of families in Indonesia use semi-permanent toilets. These toilets do not use a goose-neck construction, but they have a lid and are located inside the house.

Meanwhile, 9.2% of families in Indonesia still use communal toilets. This means that these toilets are used by more than one family.

All three categories are classified as healthy toilets if they meet three criteria. First, the presence of a toilet superstructure that protects users from weather and other disturbances.

Second, the presence of a middle toilet structure. Third, the presence of a substructure that functions as a container, processor, and decomposer of feces.
