According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2022, 55.36% of couples of reproductive age in Indonesia attempted to delay or prevent pregnancy, using both modern and traditional contraceptives.

The percentage of couples preventing pregnancy slightly increased compared to 2021 but remains lower than five years ago, as shown in the graph.

According to data from the World Population Prospects, the birth rate or total fertility rate (TFR) in Indonesia has indeed decreased over the last three decades.

In 1990, Indonesia's TFR was still at 3.10. This means that each woman, on average, gave birth to three children throughout her reproductive years.

In subsequent years, the TFR continued to decrease, reaching 2.15 in 2022. Cumulatively, Indonesia's birth rate has fallen by 30.64% during the 1990-2022 period.

Despite the decline in the birth rate, the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) believes Indonesia is not experiencing a sex recession.

"In Indonesia, almost 4.8 million children are born each year. So, it's far from a sex recession, if interpreted as a decrease or unwillingness to have children," said BKKBN Head Hasto Wardoyo, as reported by Antara on Sunday (29/1/2023).

Not only in Indonesia, but a downward trend in birth rates is also occurring in other Southeast Asian countries.

Here is a breakdown of the percentage decrease in birth rates in the ASEAN region during the period 1990-2022:

* Laos: down 59.77%
* Cambodia: down 58.86%
* Timor Leste: down 47.56%
* Malaysia: down 47.04%
* Brunei Darussalam: down 46.38%
* Vietnam: down 46.02%
* Singapore: down 42.36%
* Myanmar: down 39.97%
* Philippines: down 37.38%
* Thailand: down 36.96%
