The Indonesian middle class population has shrunk in the last five years.

This is evident from data presented by the Acting Head of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti, in a meeting with Commission XI of the DPR (House of Representatives) on Wednesday, August 28, 2024.

In 2019, the Indonesian middle class numbered 57.33 million people, equivalent to 21.45% of the total population.

Since then, the population has steadily declined to 47.85 million people or 17.13% of the total population in 2024.

"The number and percentage of the middle-class population began to decline after the pandemic," wrote the BPS in its presentation material.

BPS defines the middle class as a group of people with expenditures between 3.5 and 17 times the national poverty line.

In March 2024, BPS set the national poverty line at Rp582,932 per capita per month.

This means that Indonesian citizens classified as middle class this year have an expenditure range of between Rp2,040,262 and Rp9,909,844 per capita per month.
