Young people from the lowest income group marry earlier than those from the highest income group. This is based on a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS).

Young people whose first marriage age is under 22 years old are dominated by those from the bottom 40 percent of household expenditure. The percentage is 65.73%.

The details are: 3.06% are from under 15 years old and 25.79% from 16-18 years old. Then, 36.88% are from 19-21 years old.

In contrast, in the top 20 percent expenditure group, the majority are young people whose first marriage age is older. Their age range is 22-30 years old, at 65.41%.

Specifically, 32.53% of young people in this expenditure group are aged 22-24 years old. Then, 32.88% are aged 25-30 years old.

According to the BPS, this phenomenon is inseparable from the perspective of families with low economic status. They are generally unable to afford education costs and tend to view girls as an economic burden that must be addressed immediately through early marriage.
