Key demographic indicators for Indonesia as of 2024. These numbers give a quick overview of the country's population size, density, birth rates, life expectancy, and migration patterns.

Population Trend

How the total population has changed over the decades. A rising line means the country has been growing, a flat or falling line indicates stagnation or decline.

Population Projection to 2100

Estimated future population based on current trends in birth rates, death rates, and migration. The dashed line shows this is a projection, not actual data.

Birth Rate vs Death Rate

Birth rate (green) vs. death rate (red) per 1,000 people per year. When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population grows naturally.

Life Expectancy (Male vs Female)

Average number of years a newborn can expect to live. Blue shows men, red shows women. Women typically live longer in most countries.

Fertility Rate Trend

Total Fertility Rate — the average number of children per woman. A rate of about 2.1 is needed to maintain the population without immigration.

Population Pyramid

Shows the age distribution of the population. Blue bars (left) represent men, red bars (right) represent women. A wide base means a young population, a wide top means an aging population.

The average life expectancy is 71.1 years (69.0 for men, 73.3 for women). The fertility rate stands at 2.13 children per woman, and the median age of the population is 33.6 years.

The country's population growth rate is 0.81% per year. Net migration is -38,469 people, indicating that more people are leaving the country than arriving. The infant mortality rate is 17.0 per 1,000 live births.

Demographic Profile

Indonesia is located in South-Eastern Asia, a part of Asia, and covers an area of 1,904,569 km². With a population of 283,487,931, the country has a population density of 148.6 inhabitants per square kilometer, which is above the global average of approximately 60 people per km².

The demographic structure of Indonesia reveals a population in demographic transition. The median age of 33.6 years means that half of the population is younger and half is older than this age. The population is in a transitional phase, with declining birth rates and improving life expectancy gradually shifting the age structure toward an older profile.

Health and Longevity

Life expectancy in Indonesia stands at 71.1 years overall — 69.0 years for men and 73.3 years for women. This is close to the global average, indicating ongoing improvements in healthcare and living conditions. The infant mortality rate is 17.0 per 1,000 live births, which reflects moderate healthcare conditions with room for improvement.

Fertility and Population Growth

The total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.13 children per woman is near the replacement level of 2.1, suggesting population stability. The population is growing at a rate of 0.81% per year. This moderate growth rate reflects a balance between natural increase and migration patterns.

Migration

Net migration in Indonesia is -38,469 people, meaning more people are leaving the country than arriving. Emigration may reflect economic challenges or conflict, and can lead to brain drain as skilled workers seek opportunities elsewhere.

Outlook

Based on current demographic trends, Indonesia's population dynamics reflect broader patterns seen across South-Eastern Asia. The ongoing demographic transition will require careful policy planning to harness the potential of a changing population structure.
