Determinants of Welfare for the Elderly Population in Indonesia
Abstract
The increasing number of elderly people in Indonesia can be both a challenge and an opportunity. The increase in the number of elderly people can reflect the success of the government in implementing various health programs for the elderly. However, this increase can also be a challenge if the welfare of the elderly is not considered properly. The welfare of the elderly can be marked by the decreasing number of poor people. This study aimed to analyze the poverty determinants of the elderly population based on welfare in Indonesia, as measured by levels of poverty, education, health, and labor force participation. The data used were secondary data from the Elderly Statistic Report and the Welfare Report. The panel data analysis method was used. It was found that the rate of education, health, and labor force participation both simultaneously and significantly affect the number of poor people. This shows that the variables of education, health, and work participation rate, as welfare indicators, can help explain the increase or decrease in the rate of poverty in the elderly population.
