In 2021, the population density in Indonesia was at about 144.65 people per square kilometer. Despite being the fourth largest country in the world in terms of population, Indonesia’s population density is mitigated by its abundance of land – Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17 thousand islands sprawled across more than five thousand kilometers from east to west. Java as the heart of Indonesia Despite the many thousands of islands, Indonesia’s population, politics, and economy are mostly centered on the island of Java. This is where its capital, Jakarta, is located. With a population of around 36.3 million in 2015, Jakarta is not only Indonesia’s biggest city, it is also one of the world’s most-populated urban areas. The number of inhabitants in Jakarta increased three-fold since 1975, reflecting a trend of rural-urban migration in Indonesia. Urban-rural dichotomy Indonesia’s rural population had been steadily decreasing in the last ten years; inversely, its urban population saw a steady increase. As of 2021, more than 57 percent of the Indonesian population were living in urban areas. In Indonesia, the economic opportunities are mostly concentrated in the larger and more densely populated islands such as Java and Bali, and smaller, rural, and more far-flung islands such as the Maluku Islands tend to suffer from a lack of easy connectivity to these economic centers. It comes as no surprise that these rural areas had the highest share of the rural population living below the poverty line. With their lack of economic prospects, rural populations in Indonesia also had a significantly higher share of those living below the poverty line than urban populations.

In 2023, the total population of all ASEAN states amounted to an estimated 619.02 million inhabitants. The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member countries are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. ASEAN opportunity The Association of Southeast Asian Nations was founded by five states (Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore) in 1967 to improve economic and political stability and social progress among the member states. It was originally modelled after the European Union. Nowadays, after accepting more members, their agenda also includes an improvement of cultural and environmental conditions. ASEAN is now an important player on the global stage with numerous alliances and business partners, as well as more contenders wanting to join. The major player in the SouthIndonesia is not only a founding member of ASEAN, it is also its biggest contributor in terms of gross domestic product and is also one of the member states with a positive trade balance. In addition, it has the highest number of inhabitants by far. About a third of all people in the ASEAN live in Indonesia – and it is also one of the most populous countries worldwide. Among the ASEAN members, it is certainly the most powerful one, not just in numbers, but mostly due to its stable and thriving economy.

• The current US Census Bureau world population estimate in June 2019 shows that the current global population is 7,577,130,400 people on Earth, which far exceeds the world population of 7.2 billion in 2015. Our estimate based on UN data shows the world's population surpassing 7.7 billion.
• China is the most populous country in the world with a population exceeding 1.4 billion. It is one of just two countries with a population of more than 1 billion, with India being the second. As of 2018, India has a population of over 1.355 billion people, and its population growth is expected to continue through at least 2050. By the year 2030, India is expected to become the most populous country in the world. This is because India’s population will grow, while China is projected to see a loss in population.
• The following 11 countries that are the most populous in the world each have populations exceeding 100 million. These include the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Ethiopia, and the Philippines. Of these nations, all are expected to continue to grow except Russia and Japan, which will see their populations drop by 2030 before falling again significantly by 2050.
• Many other nations have populations of at least one million, while there are also countries that have just thousands. The smallest population in the world can be found in Vatican City, where only 801 people reside.
• In 2018, the world’s population growth rate was 1.12%. Every five years since the 1970s, the population growth rate has continued to fall. The world’s population is expected to continue to grow larger but at a much slower pace. By 2030, the population will exceed 8 billion. In 2040, this number will grow to more than 9 billion. In 2055, the number will rise to over 10 billion, and another billion people won’t be added until near the end of the century. The current annual population growth estimates from the United Nations are in the millions - estimating that over 80 million new lives are added yearly.
• This population growth will be significantly impacted by nine specific countries which are situated to contribute to the population growth more quickly than other nations. These nations include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania, and the United States of America. Particularly of interest, India is on track to overtake China's position as the most populous country by 2030. Additionally, multiple nations within Africa are expected to double their populations before fertility rates begin to slow entirely.

This statistic shows the ten biggest cities in Indonesia in 2010. In 2010, Indonesia's total population amounted to approximately *** million people. About **** million of them lived in Jakarta, making it the biggest city in Indonesia.

Indonesia's urban population

The largest city and capital of Indonesia is Jakarta. The city is home to close to ** million inhabitants. While this is an extremely high number, this represents less than * percent of Indonesia’s total population which is around *** million. Indonesia is the *** most-populated country in the world, behind China, India and the United States.

The city of Jakarta is located to the west of the island of Java on the Java Sea. The majority of Indonesia’s population lives on the island of Java and most of its metropolises, including Bekasi, Tangerang, Depok, Bandung, Semarang, and Surabaya, are all located there. Bekasi, Tangernang and Depok are located less than ** km away from the city of Jakarta creating an expansive urban and suburban metropolis region. This rapid urbanization is largely uncontrolled and may jeopardize the regions sustainability in years to come. The good news is that the population growth rate of Indonesia is slowing down ever so slightly, because of a likewise decreasing fertility rate.

Indonesia’s economy is also fairly diversified, which some may consider a strength for an island economy from a self-sufficiency standpoint. Agriculture also still plays an important role, composing close to a ** percent share of the country’s economy, and while the country is still developing, it still produces a large portion of food which helps feed its ever increasing urban population.

As of 2023, Jakarta’s population amounted to around ***** million inhabitants, indicating an increase of over *** thousand people over the past decade. Jakarta is Indonesia’s capital and largest city, and with its soaring population density, Jakarta ranks among the most populous cities worldwide. Employment in Jakarta In contrast to the prevalent informal employment in Indonesia, over ** percent of Jakarta’s workforce is engaged in formal employment. Notably, Jakartan formal workers have the highest average net wage in the country compared to other provinces. Most of these workers are employed in the wholesale and retail trade sector, which serves as the primary contributor to Jakarta’s GRDP. While there is a positive alignment between the city’s economic growth and increasing welfare levels, Jakarta still needs continuous efforts to further reduce unemployment rates and address income inequality gaps. Traffic and pollution As one of the most polluted major cities globally, the bustling city of Jakarta grapples with persistently low air quality. Simultaneously, the metropolis is also marked to have one of the highest traffic congestion levels in Asia. However, despite the ongoing issues and the efforts to combat these issues, Jakarta still faces an escalating number of vehicles. Factors like the surge in personal vehicle usage to avoid using public transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with implanted habits, contribute significantly to Jakarta’s traffic problems.

In 2023, over ** percent of Indonesians declared themselves to be Muslim, followed by *** percent who were Christians. Indonesia has the largest Islamic population in the world and for this reason is often recognized as a Muslim nation. However, Indonesia is not a Muslim nation according to its constitution. The archipelago is a multifaith country and officially recognizes six religions – Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Confucianism. Not all provinces in Indonesia are Muslim majority The spread of Islam in Indonesia began on the west side of the archipelago, where the main maritime trade routes were located. Until today, most of the Indonesian Muslim population are residing in Western and Central Indonesia, while the majority religion of several provinces in Eastern Indonesia, such as East Nusa Tenggara and Bali, is Christian and Hindu, respectively. Discrimination towards other beliefs in Indonesia The Indonesian constitution provides for freedom of religion. However, the Government Restrictions Index Score on religion in Indonesia is relatively high. Indonesians who practice unrecognized religions, including Indonesia’s indigenous or traditional belief systems, such as animism, dynamism, and totemism, face legal restrictions and discrimination. Indonesian law requires its citizens to put one of the recognized religions on their national identity cards, with some exceptions for indigenous religions. Although legally citizens may leave the section blank, atheism or agnosticism is considered uncommon in Indonesia.

This dataset provides a comprehensive overview of Indonesia's 38 provinces, featuring population data from the last census (2020-2022) conducted by the Central Statistic Agency. It also includes information on the largest political party in each province from the 2024 legislative election, along with coalition details as of August 22, 2024. This dataset is valuable for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in analyzing Indonesia's region's demographic and political dynamics.

This statistic shows the median age of the population in Indonesia from 1950 to 2100. The median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. In 2020, the median age of the Indonesian population was 29.1 years. Life in Indonesia The Republic of Indonesia is a sovereign state archipelago in Southeast Asia. Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands, with the biggest three being Java, Sumatra and Borneo. In 2010, Indonesia reported a total population of around 238 million people, and it is estimated that this figure will increase to around 255 million inhabitants by 2015. The biggest cities in Indonesia are its capital Jakarta, Surabaya, and Bandung. Jakarta alone is home to more than 9.6 million inhabitants. Currently, there are more than 7 billion people in the world and Asia is the continent with the largest population. More than 4 billion people lived in Asia in mid-2014. Indonesia is the second most populous country in Asia, behind China and the fourth most populous nation in the world. As a result of an improving economy and better health and living conditions, life expectancy in Indonesia is steadily increasing - between 2002 and 2012, it increased by almost 3 years . Due of a decreasing fertility rate, Indonesian parents are able to more easily provide for their families and the population is still increasing and living longer. The average age of the population in Indonesia is estimated to be around 28.4 years in 2015.

There were 90 183 200 Instagram users in Indonesia in July 2025, which accounted for 31.7% of its entire population. The majority of them were women - 54.2%. People aged 25 to 34 were the largest user group (36 000 000). The highest difference between men and women occurs within people aged 18 to 24, where women lead by 12 600 000.

There were 27 950 000 Linkedin users in Indonesia in June 2024, which accounted for 9.8% of its entire population. People aged 25 to 34 were the largest user group (16 000 000).

There were 174 000 000 Facebook users in Indonesia in January 2025, which accounted for 61.1% of its entire population. The majority of them were men - 53.8%. People aged 25 to 34 were the largest user group (66 200 000). The highest difference between men and women occurs within people aged 25 to 34, where men lead by 35 900 000.

The most threatened orchids do not always have the highest priority for conservation, because other values and factors need also to be considered in order to optimize the limited, available sources. Firstly, the target species should carefully be selected. Considerations for evaluating priority species for conservation should be based on the species total values which are completely no bias to certain values or factors. Thus the evaluation conducted was merely based on scientific, objective and neutral judgements. Scoring criteria included their taxonomic uniqeness, geographical distribution, population number, averaged population size, the largest population size, condition of the largest population, population decline, legal habitat protection, ex situ conservation, declining habitat, impact of predator/exploitation, competition, other factors influencing survivorship, habitat or nutrient specificity, reproductive or character specialization, propagation potency, and utilization value. Among the selected Indonesian orchids, 44 species had been ranked as high priority for immediate conservation actions.
