The population of DKI Jakarta in 2016 is projected to grow by 1.13 percent to 10.27 million people. Although Jakarta's population continues to increase, the growth rate has slightly slowed compared to 2010, which was 1.43 percent.
Between 1961 and 2000, population growth in Jakarta showed a downward trend, coinciding with the success of the national government's Family Planning (KB) program. In fact, in 2000, DKI's population growth was 0.14 percent, reaching 8.35 million people from 8.23 million in 1990.
However, between 2000 and 2010, Jakarta's population growth increased again to 1.43 percent, reaching 9.61 million people. The lower achievement of the Regional Government's Family Planning program, the low infant mortality rate, and the influx of migrants after Eid al-Fitr contributed to higher population growth in 2010 compared to 2000.
