BPS: Youth with the Lowest Corruption Rate

Young people are revealed to be the most anti-corruption. The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that the anti-corruption behavior index (IPAK) of young people (under 40 years old) is the highest compared to other age groups. This group has an IPAK of 3.89 points in 2021. This achievement is up 0.4 points from the previous year.

Meanwhile, the higher the age of the population, the lower the IPAK. The 40-59 age group has an IPAK of 3.88 points. The oldest group, aged over 60, has an IPAK of 3.87 points.

Based on demographics, people living in urban areas have a higher IPAK than those in rural areas. Similarly, the higher the level of education, the greater the anti-corruption attitude.

Anti-corruption campaigns continue to resonate through various media. Television is the most widely accessed anti-corruption medium, followed by social media, billboards, banners, posters, and leaflets.

BPS measures IPAK through a number of indicators. Perceptions of anti-corruption habits or behaviors in society, such as the public's attitude that considers it unnatural to give money or goods to officials. In addition, other components are also calculated from the public's experience, for example, people accessing public services and paying more than stipulated.
