The Indonesian National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) estimates that there were 30.2 million children aged 0-6 years in Indonesia in March 2023. This figure represents 10.91% of Indonesia's total population.

East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) has the highest national percentage of young children, at 13.76% of its total population.

Following NTT are West Papua (13.16%), Southeast Sulawesi (13.11%), West Sulawesi (13.09%), and West Nusa Tenggara (12.73%).

Meanwhile, the provinces with the lowest percentage of young children are East Java (9.41%), Bali (9.60%), and Yogyakarta Special Region (9.67%).

BPS explains that, in terms of composition, more than half of young children are male, with a sex ratio of 104.16 in 2023. Male young children account for 51.02%, while females account for 48.98%.

"A sex ratio of more than 100 indicates that the percentage of male young children is higher than that of females," BPS wrote in its 2023 Early Childhood Profile report.

Based on their developmental age group, young children are divided into three categories: infants (under 1 year old) at 11.22%, toddlers (1-4 years old) at 59.95%, and preschoolers (5-6 years old) at 28.83%.
