CSIS: Millennial Generation Optimistic About Jokowi-JK's Ability to Improve Development

More than 80 percent of the public are optimistic that the government under the leadership of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Jusuf Kalla (JK) is capable of improving development. This is reflected in the results of a national survey by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) entitled "Social, Economic, and Political Orientation of the Millennial Generation," conducted from August 23-30, 2017.

As many as 82.5 percent of respondents aged 17-30 years, or belonging to the millennial generation, expressed optimism regarding the government's ability to improve development. Similarly, 83.8 percent of respondents over 30 years old (non-millennials) were also optimistic about the government's capabilities. Meanwhile, only 16.2 percent of millennials and 15.7 percent of non-millennials were not optimistic about the government's ability.

The CSIS national survey involved 600 millennial respondents and 851 non-millennial respondents. The sampling method used was *multi-stage random sampling*, with a margin of error of 4 percent for millennials and 3.38 percent for non-millennials.
