The report from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that in 2025, 11.93% of Indonesia's population will be elderly (lansia) or aged 60 and above. Of this elderly group, more than half, or 54.21%, are still working.

The percentage of working elderly this year decreased by 1.11 percentage points from 2024, which reached 55.32%. The figure for 2024 was the highest since 2015.

Meanwhile, the lowest proportion during the 2015-2025 period occurred in 2015, at 46.53%.

BPS stated that there are several reasons why the elderly continue to work, one of which is the necessity to meet their daily needs.

"The unavailability of non-labor income such as pension guarantees, compels the elderly to keep working," BPS wrote in its report, Statistik Penduduk Lanjut Usia 2025 (Elderly Population Statistics 2025).

In addition, there are several other factors such as the elderly being physically and mentally strong, economic pressure, and self-actualization or emotional motives.

In 2025, Papua Pegunungan will be the province with the highest percentage of working elderly nationally, reaching 90.25%.

It is followed by D.I. Yogyakarta with 63.24%, Central Papua 61.73%, West Sulawesi 61.27%, and NTT 61.61%.
