According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), there were 66.83 million young people, or residents aged 16-30, in Indonesia as of March 2025. Of this total, 71.04% are unmarried.

Papua is the province with the highest proportion of unmarried young people, while the lowest is in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

Here is a list of the top 10 provinces with the highest proportion of unmarried young people in Indonesia as of March 2025:

1. Papua: 83.96%

2. DKI Jakarta: 83.27%

3. Aceh: 78.24%

4. Banten: 78.13%

5. Central Papua: 77.61%

6. North Sumatra: 77.12%

7. Highland Papua: 76.69%

8. East Kalimantan: 75.66%

9. Southwest Papua: 75.46%

10. Riau: 74.9%

According to BPS, one of the factors contributing to the high number of unmarried young people in Indonesia is legal changes.

Previously, based on Law No. 1 of 1974, the minimum age for marriage was 19 for males and 16 for females.

This regulation was then amended by Law No. 16 of 2019, which set the minimum age for marriage at 19 for both males and females.

"There are also other factors such as expanding opportunities for education and work, as well as reduced social pressure, which influence young people's decision to postpone marriage," BPS stated in its report.
