Many Indonesian families were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing them to struggle for survival. This included allowing their children to work, a violation of children's rights.
Other coping mechanisms included taking on high-risk jobs (7.4%), working in the informal/illegal sector (1.1%), and sending children to live with relatives (0.2%).
The Rapid Assessment Survey on the Impact of Covid-19 and its Effects on Indonesian Children was conducted from May 12-28, 2020. The survey involved 900 households, 943 children, and 15 key informants from 251 villages and 35 districts/cities across 9 Indonesian provinces.
