Children or family members are the primary source of financial support for most elderly people (elderly) in Indonesia.

This is reflected in the report of the *Elderly Welfare Survey* released by the Indonesian Gerontological Medical Association (PERGEMI) on May 29, 2022, coinciding with the commemoration of National Elderly Day.

According to the survey, during the pandemic, the majority, or 34.8%, of elderly people received money from their children or other working family members.

Furthermore, 33.8% of the elderly stated that they were still working informally or doing odd jobs to earn an income.

Another 20.7% of the elderly met their financial needs from pension funds, 9.6% from assets they owned such as rented properties, gardens, or houses, and 8.2% from entrepreneurship.

The majority of the elderly, or 47.4%, received money monthly. Another 23.7% received money daily, and 23.4% received it irregularly.

Only a small percentage of the elderly met their financial needs from government assistance or old-age insurance.

This survey was conducted from May 9-22, 2022, involving 816 respondents spread across 34 provinces in Indonesia. Respondents consisted of 57.2% women and 42.8% men.

Respondents were divided into five age categories: 60-65 years (64.2%), 66-70 years (20.1%), 71-75 years (9.6%), 76-80 years (3.7%), and >80 years (2.5%).
