The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports that Indonesian youth are gradually leaving the island of Java. The percentage of young people on Java has been declining since 2018.
The percentage of young people on Java was 55.53% in 2018. This percentage decreased to 55.28% in 2019.
The decline continued during the pandemic, reaching 55.11% in 2020. The latest report shows a further decrease of 0.11% to 55% in 2021.
BPS explains that the decrease in the youth population on Java is due to changes in Indonesia's population structure as a result of family planning programs. Furthermore, there has been a shift in government paradigms regarding development in areas on Java and in eastern Indonesia.
According to Law No. 40 of 2009, youth are Indonesian citizens aged 16-30 years. This age group represents a crucial period of growth and development.
