According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI) has been steadily increasing. In 2010, it scored only 66.53 points, but this grew to 71.92 points by 2019. During this period, Indonesia's HDI grew by approximately 0.87% annually, reaching the high category since 2016.
The COVID-19 pandemic reduced per capita expenditure, one of the indicators used to measure the HDI. This impacted the 2020 HDI score. People became more cautious with their spending, decreasing from Rp 11.3 million in 2019 to Rp 11.01 million in 2020.
Indonesia achieved 71.94 points in 2020. This figure represents only a 0.03% increase (0.02 points) from 2019. However, this achievement was boosted by other indicators, namely life expectancy at birth, and expected and average years of schooling.
