Indonesia's Elderly Dependency Ratio Continues to Rise
- A Small
- A Medium
- A Bigger
The dependency ratio of the elderly in Indonesia to the productive-age population has been steadily increasing since 2014. In 2020, the elderly dependency ratio was recorded at 15.54, meaning that for every 100 people in the productive age group (15-59 years old), 15 elderly people need to be supported.
The increase in the elderly dependency ratio is directly proportional to the increase in needs, including care, thus increasing the economic burden on the productive-age population to support the elderly. Therefore, synergy is needed in implementing programs related to the elderly. The goal is to enable the elderly to be healthy, independent, and active, thereby contributing to the economy and making them productive.
