The 2023 Indonesian Health Survey (Survei Kesehatan Indonesia or SKI) from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) examined the involvement of the public and professional caregivers of individuals over 60 years of age with severe or total dependency.

The results show that immediate family members were the most frequent caregivers, comprising 80.8% of the weighted sample (n) of 1,684 individuals in 2023. This includes children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and others.

Domestic workers (PRT) were the second most common caregivers at 12.9%.
