The middle class constitutes the largest segment of Indonesia's population. The World Bank estimates this group comprised approximately 44.5% of the population in 2016. Their per capita monthly expenditure ranges from Rp 532,000 to Rp 1,200,000.
Indonesia's population is also categorized into poor (expenditure less than Rp 354,000 per capita per month) and vulnerable (Rp 354,000-532,000) groups. Following the middle class, there are the upper-middle class (Rp 532,000 to Rp 1,200,000) and the upper class (over Rp 6,000,000).
Despite being the largest group, the World Bank asserts that it is the middle class that drives Indonesia's economy. This is due to their high consumption levels, ability to produce skilled human resources, and creation of jobs.
