The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) stated that Indonesia is entering a phase of an ageing population, as indicated by the proportion of residents aged 60 and above reaching more than 10%.

The 2025 Intercensus Population Survey (SUPAS) found that the percentage of elderly people in Indonesia reached 11.97% that year. This figure rose from 9.93% in the 2020 census.

"An ageing population also brings important implications for the provision of social services, healthcare, and a protection system that is more responsive to the needs of the elderly," BPS wrote in its report.

The 2025 SUPAS report also revealed the main sources of income or goods for the elderly in Indonesia.

Most elderly people obtain money or goods from their families - spouses, children/in-laws, siblings/other relatives - with a proportion of 48.56%.

In addition, some still work, utilize pension money, social security, and savings and investments. Here are the details:

Family: 48.56%
Work: 37.72%
Pension: 8.82%
Social security/social assistance: 2.42%
Savings and investments: 1.13%
Others: 1.35%.
