The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) states that the economic condition of the elderly population in Indonesia remains quite worrying. This is reflected in the fact that the majority of elderly people in Indonesia are in households with the lowest expenditure group, namely 43.84%. Meanwhile, 37.25% are in the middle group and 18.91% are in the highest group.
The elderly population in the lowest expenditure group is largest in rural areas, at 43.46%. Furthermore, the transition of the elderly from working life to retirement tends to leave them without their own income. If the elderly work, their productivity is lower than that of the working-age population.
