According to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), Indonesia's total fertility rate (TFR) has been steadily declining over the past 50 years.

TFR is the average number of children born alive to a woman during her reproductive years.

In 1971, the national TFR was still 5.61. This means that, at that time, women on average gave birth to between 5 and 6 children during their reproductive years.

The number gradually decreased, reaching a new low of 2.18 in 2020.

According to the Head of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN), Hasto Wardoyo, this decline in the birth rate is partly influenced by the use of contraception.

"The decrease in TFR is due to the use of contraception, so Indonesia has now successfully achieved a TFR of 2.18," said Hasto, as reported by Antara (28/9/2023).

"The percentage of modern contraceptive use was highest in 2022-2023. Since 2017, our mCPR [modern contraceptive prevalence rate] has never reached 59. During the pandemic, it only dropped slightly from 57.9 to 57, and now it's 59.4," he said.
