Jakarta's elderly population is projected to reach 1.2 million by 2025.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) projects a continuous increase in the elderly population (elderly) in Jakarta every year. In 2020, there were 942,800 elderly individuals in the capital city.

This number is projected to rise to 998,390 in the current year, and 1.05 million in 2022. Then, the number of elderly individuals will further increase to 1.1 million in 2023 and 1.17 million in 2024. Finally, the BPS estimates that the elderly population will reach 1.2 million in 2025.

Considering this projection, there is a need for development in elderly care services that take into account their needs. This aims to ensure that the elderly feel comfortable and safe, both physically and psychologically, as their metabolism slows down.

The BPS also considers it necessary to plan for the elderly to remain healthy and productive, especially in districts/cities with a larger elderly population.

Based on BPS data, East Jakarta has the highest number of elderly individuals among other regions in the capital city, totaling 250,600 in 2020.

South Jakarta recorded 217,500 elderly individuals. Furthermore, there were 216,450 elderly individuals residing in West Jakarta.

The number of elderly individuals in North Jakarta and Central Jakarta were 151,320 and 104,800, respectively. Meanwhile, there were 2,100 elderly individuals in the Thousand Islands.
