Preliminary results of Population Census figures in 2010 that exceeds previous estimates of government needs to addressed seriously. Otherwise, the swelling number of residents will complicate development.
Chairman of the Institute of Demography, University of Indonesia Sonny Harry B Harmadi in Review 2010 National Family Planning Program in Jakarta, Thursday (26 / 8), said with the population growth rate 1.49 per cent according to the census, the population of Indonesia which is currently 237.6 million soul will be a two-time, 475 million people, in 2057.
If population growth can be suppressed up to 1 percent, double the amount of explosive population may be delayed until 2080.
"The population growth was 1.49 percent, including a big worry because," he said. With that much growth, Indonesia became the fifth largest contributor to the growth of population in the world after India, China, Brazil, and Nigeria.
If the population growth rate fixed, the distribution of estimated population in 2050 was marked by high fixed group of boys below 15 years and the increasingly high number of elderly group to above 80 million people. This condition will cause serious problems for the nation because of the swelling number of unproductive groups who need a high cost from the state to manage them.
Deputy Director General for Social Statistics Arizal Ahnaf Statistics reveal, growth above the national average occurs in many areas become centers of economic growth, such as West Java, Banten, Riau, Kepulauan Riau, and East Kalimantan. However, high growth also occurred in areas that are considered construction is lagging, such as Papua, West Papua, Maluku, North Maluku, and West Sulawesi.
Dealing with high population growth, the Head of the National Population and Family Planning Sugiri Syarief recalled the importance of the various parties-the central and local government-for more care in controlling the population explosion and carry out more intensive family planning program.
Population of Indonesia each year will increase by 3.5 million-4 million inhabitants. This amount would cost the state, especially in the provision of food, housing, education, health, nutrition, electricity, or employment.
Ironically, the large population was not accompanied with high quality.
Human Development Index (HDI) Indonesia in 2009 ranked seventh of the 10 ASEAN countries or ranking 111th of 182 countries. Indonesia is under the HDI HDI Palestine.
Former Head of National Family Planning Coordinating Board Haryono Suyono said the implementation of family planning programs during the last 10 years was less intensive with a decade earlier. Implementation of regional autonomy led to the management of field extension agents or officers KB (PLKB) submitted to the area. As a result, a number PLKB just not empowered. They functioned for another job.
"To turn the KB, the number PLKB need to be augmented, strengthened community assistance, and need a new image for the family planning program," he said. (MZW)
