Indonesia in numbers

The UN counts 281,190,066 people in Indonesia in mid-2023, which makes it the 4th-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and 3.5% of the world's people. That is 4.1 times its 1950 population of 68.8 million.

The UN's medium projection has it peaking in 2058 at 323 million, then falling to 296 million by 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 182 million to 450 million.

The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2060 and staying above them from then on.

The median age was 18.9 in 1950 and 30.8 in 2023; the projection has 46.0 in 2100. 7.0% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 25.8% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) is projected to peak in 2045 at 211 million.

Its place in the world by population: 4th in 2023, 6th in 2050, 8th in 2100. It is overtaken by Pakistan in 2037 and Nigeria in 2040.

IDN · 1950–2100 · every age, every year

Indonesia, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

IDN · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Indonesia

On the UN's projection, Indonesia will have the most working-age people it ever has in 2045: 210,928,000 people aged 15–64. In 2023 it had 191,257,000.

100 aged 15–64

37 children

10 aged 65+

aged 15–64 children under 15 aged 65 and over

How to read this: take 100 people of working age — the orange row — and the two rows under it are the children (teal) and the people of 65 and over (violet) who lived alongside them in 2023.

Fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 in 31 years: 2014–2044.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: one stripe a year from 1950 to 2100. A stripe takes colour in a year when fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people of working age, and stays grey otherwise; hatching means the year is projected.

How every country compares

IDN · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Indonesia, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Indonesia loses 30,770 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 15,296 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 2,000 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: age runs left to right, babies to 100. A blue square above the line means arrivals outnumber departures at that age, an orange square below it means the opposite. The figures are the UN's projection for 2020–2025; nobody recorded migration by age before 2020.

Across the counted years, 1950 to 2023, its biggest single-year gain was 144,819 (1964); its biggest loss, 97,732 (2003).

In 2024, 445,726 people living in Indonesia had been born in another country, fewer than 1 of every 100 people there, against fewer than 1 in 1990.

Years in good health in Indonesia

In Indonesia, WHO puts the healthy years a newborn could expect in 2021 at 60.7 (95% range 59.9–61.5), out of 68.3 in all. The years in less than full health come to 7.6, below the world's 9.5: shorter lives leave fewer years in which to be ill.

a year in full health a year in less than full health

How to read this: each square is a year of life, each row ten years; filled squares are years in full health, rounded to whole years.

Women: 61.5 healthy years of 70.2. Men: 59.9 of 66.4. In 2019, before the pandemic, the healthy years were 63.3.

Nearly everyone has electricity at home (2024). 27.2 of every 100 do not use the internet (2024).

Sources and method

Every figure on this page comes from the UN's World Population Prospects 2024: the annual country tables (estimates to 2023, projections with 95% intervals from 2024), and the population by single year of age and sex for the pyramid.

The censuses, surveys and registers behind the UN's estimates for Indonesia are listed, source by source, on the UN's own data sources page.
