Becoming the fifth country with the largest amount of elderly people comes with its consequences, such as service needs as well as social protection for the elderly," said director general of social rehabilitation for the ministry of social affairs, Samsudi, in Jakarta on Wednesday.
The amount of elderly people has increased 4 times more in comparison to 1970, where there was only 5,3 million lives or 4,48 percent.
The increase of elderly people in Indonesia is due to the rise of life expectancy for Indonesian residents which has caused the elderly population to increase in number.
With the rise of the elderly population and the mobility of residents in an era of globalization, it has its effects on the livelihood of the public.(IGT)
