The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows a declining trend in Indonesia's dependency ratio. This decline indicates a decreasing burden on the productive age group.
Indonesia's dependency ratio was recorded at 48.42% in 2017. This means that for every 100 working-age individuals, there were 48 dependents who were not yet productive or were considered no longer productive.
This figure slightly decreased to 48.23% in 2018 and further decreased to 47.99% in 2019.
During the pandemic, the decrease in the dependency ratio was not significant, reaching 47.89%. This figure only decreased by 0.1 points from 2019.
The latest report shows that the dependency ratio decreased by 2.17 points to 45.72% in 2021. In 2021, 100 productive individuals supported 46 non-productive or no longer productive individuals.
