The number of young people or millennials in Indonesia is starting to spread outside of Java. Although the majority are still concentrated on Java, the percentage is beginning to decrease. In 2004, the percentage of young people on Java reached 58.25%. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the percentage in 2019 decreased to 55.28 percent.
The percentage of young people living outside Java is increasing, including in Eastern Indonesia. One example is Sulawesi Island, where the percentage increased from 7.14 percent in 2004 to 7.52 percent in 2019.
According to the results of the 2019 National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas), the number of young people is predicted to be 64.19 million. This figure is equivalent to one-quarter of Indonesia's total population. Based on Law No. 40 of 2009, young people are Indonesian citizens aged 16 to 30 years who are entering an important period of growth and development.
