The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports that 9.54%, or 26.16 million, of Indonesia's population was poor in 2022. Of this number, 11.80% were children aged 0-17 years.

By region, the highest percentage of poor children came from Maluku-Papua, at 24.01%. This figure significantly exceeds the national poverty rate.

The BPS notes that the proportion of poor children tends to be higher in eastern Indonesia. This is likely related to inter-provincial inequality in the country.

Next, 20.47% of children on Nusa Tenggara Island fell into the poor category.

The number of poor children on Sulawesi Island was 12.95%. This was followed by Sumatra and Java-Bali islands, with 12.21% and 10.55% poor children respectively.

The lowest national proportion of poor children was in Kalimantan, at 7.09% in 2022.

Furthermore, the BPS also reported that the percentage of poor children is significantly higher for children living in larger households.

A recorded 27.71% of children living in households with more than 7 members were classified as poor in 2022.

Meanwhile, the poverty rate for children living in households with 1-2 members was 3.19%, considerably lower than the overall child poverty rate.
