The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) reports an upward trend in Indonesia's Life Expectancy (LE). In 2021, the average LE at birth for Indonesians was recorded at 73.5 years.
This figure is up 0.1 points from the previous year's 73.4 years. Compared to five years earlier, the increase in Indonesia's LE is 0.6 points, from 72.9 years in 2017.
LE serves as a tool to evaluate the government's performance in improving the general welfare of the population, and particularly in improving health standards.
Low LE in a region necessitates health development programs and other social programs. These include environmental health initiatives, sufficient nutrition and caloric intake, and poverty eradication programs.
