According to a Kawula17 survey, several issues sparked anger among Indonesian youth in mid-2025.

The most significant issue was corruption, with an aggregate anger level of 71%. This comprised 48% reporting "very angry" and 23% reporting "angry."

The research team noted that the issue of corruption—and anti-corruption efforts—was most strongly felt by respondents aged 31 and older (77%) compared to other age groups. Corruption also elicited a "very angry" response from young people in Sumatra (71%), Java (73%), and Sulawesi (76%).

Poverty followed with a total anger level of 67% (35% "very angry" and 32% "angry").

Economic issues came next, with an anger level of 62% (30% "very angry" and 32% "angry").

Beyond these three major issues, aggregate anger levels were above 40%-50%. These included human rights (58%), employment (57%), education (57%), and gender inequality (42%), which ranked last.

Kawula17 stated that respondents aged 31 and older significantly more often reported feeling "very angry" and "angry" compared to other age groups.

Besides corruption, the most prominent anger was related to poverty (73%) and education (63%). A significant number also reported being "somewhat angry" about human rights (24%), employment (31%), and gender issues (25%).

"These findings indicate that the age group ≥31 feels most negatively impacted by developments in the various topics above," wrote Kawula17 in its report, National Benchmark Survey, on August 21, 2025.

The research team also found that the level of youth anger correlated with political views and interest in the issues. Those who felt very interested in the issues (75%), and those classified as progressive (66%) and very progressive (75%), showed higher levels of anger.

"This shows that youth anger is not merely an emotional expression, but is closely related to political awareness and their concern for public issues," wrote Kawula17.

The survey involved 1,342 respondents aged 17-35, spread across Java (60%), Sumatra (19%), Sulawesi (8%), Kalimantan (6%), Nusa Tenggara (6%), and other regions (2%). The gender composition was 49% female and 51% male.

The majority of respondents were private sector employees and civil servants (37%), followed by housewives (16%), students (11%), recent graduates (9%), and others (26%).

The survey was conducted from July 10-17, 2025, using the computer-assisted self-interviewing (CASI) method, or online survey.
