The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) projects a decreasing number of children under five (toddlers) until 2025. The number of toddlers is predicted to reach 847,800 this year, a 0.7% decrease from the previous year's 853,700.
Meanwhile, from 2020 to 2025, the number of toddlers is projected to decrease by 2.5% to 831,990 in 2025. This decrease indicates Indonesia's success in implementing its Family Planning (KB) program, resulting in a lower Total Fertility Rate (TFR).
Looking at the distribution, the highest number of toddlers in 2025 will be in East Jakarta, at 227,600 children. This is followed by West Jakarta with 220,200, South Jakarta with 172,500, and North Jakarta with 147,500.
Furthermore, 61,500 toddlers are spread across Central Jakarta and 2,700 in the Thousand Islands.
In addition, this decrease in the number of toddlers is predicted to be due to increased awareness of family planning programs, measurable by the Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) or the proportion of couples of reproductive age (PUS) currently using contraception. The use of contraception among couples of reproductive age in DKI Jakarta has steadily increased from 2017 to 2020, and further increases are likely each year until 2025.
