Dear Readers,
We have just published “The Past Three Population Censuses: A Deepening Ageing Population in Indonesia”. In Contemporary Demographic Transformation in China, India and Indonesia. Edited by Christophe Z. Guilmoto and Gavin W. Jones. New York: Springer, 2016.
About the Chapter
This chapter highlights a deepening ageing population in Indonesia between 1990 and 2010, a period witnessing a political change from an authoritarian regime to a democratizing one. This transition brought a drastic shift in population policy, with a much weaker family planning programmes than during the authoritarian regime. Our assessment from the latest 2010 census suggests that the proportion of population aged 60 year and above was 7.6 percent in 2010, rising from 6.3 per cent in 1990; while the number increased to 18.0 million from 11.3 million. The growth rate of older persons for this period is well above the rate of the general population, 4.7 percent vs 2.9 percent annually.
This chapter also shows a large variation in the age structure of the sub-national population. The structure at the national level remains heavily affected by changes in fertility and mortality only. However, changes at sub-national levels, particularly district level, have also been determined by migration.
The latest census also depicts a significant improvement in educational attainment of older persons, as those without schooling decreased to 31.6 percent from 58.5 percent in 1990. At the same period, participation of the elderly in the labour market rose from 48.1 percent to 51.2 percent in the same period. Furthermore, working as self-employed in the agricultural sector remains to be the main source of financial well-being for the older persons.

Pembaca yang budiman,
Tadi pagi, isti saya bercerita bahwa seorang kawannya mengalami osteoporosis atau pengeroposan tulang. Tulang tulangnya sakit. Sesungguhnya, usia 50 masih terlalu muda untuk menderita penyakit seperti itu.
Kebetulan saya barusan membaca TIME dalam edisi terbaru, 31 Oktober 2014. Biasanya kita percaya bahwa susu sapi bagus untuk tulang manusia. Namun, laporan TIME itu menyebutkan adanya penelitian terbaru yang meragukan manfaat susu sapi. Bahkan, penelitian itu mengatakan bahwa susu sapi justru berbahaya untuk tulang manusia, dan mempercepat penuaan kita.
Kalau hasil penelitian ini benar, kita harus cepat cepat menggurangi atau menghentikan konsumsi susu sapi dan semua makanan/ minuman yang menggunakan susu, termasuk keju. Mungkin teman itu perlu berhenti mengkonsumsi susu sapi dan semua makanan/ minuman yang menggunakan susu sapi.
Mungkin, para orang tua perlu berhenti minum susu sapi agar proses penuaan dan pengeroposan tulang dapat diperlambat. Yang muda pun perlu berhenti minum susu, agar ketika mereka tua, tulang mereka masih tetap kuat.
Biarlah susu sapi diminum oleh anak sapi saja.
Salam,
Aris Ananta

This article discusses three mega-demographic trends in Indonesia, which have and will have important social, economic, and political implications. Any development planning needs to seriously consider these trends, namely, an ever-growing population, an emerging rapidly aging population, and emerging highly mobile Indonesians within the country and migrating out from the country.
This article was published in Social Development Issues. Alternative Approaches to Global Human Needs. Volume 35, 2013, Number 3.
Attached is file containing the introduction, outline, and conclusion of the Three Mega-Demographic Trends in Indonesia. (*)
