Indonesia's Ministry of National Development Planning Launches its Report on Child Rights Deprivation : Shared by NIloufar Pourzand
Hi, great to see. I led the first such Study in UNICEF Indonesia in 2010 with our great team & SMERU, the same outstanding think-tank in Jakarta.
Good it’s been repeated. Hope our Study was used & referred to and the situation is much better now.
Yesterday, the Indonesian Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas Republic of Indonesia, UNICEF Indonesia, The SMERU Research Institute, Badan Pusat Statistik and partners, launched a groundbreaking report: Multidimensional Child Rights Deprivation in Indonesia.
We launched the report just ahead of World Children’s Day, with the participation of the Minister of Bappenas, Minister of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection, Minister of Social Affairs, Minister of Coordinating Ministry for Human Development and Cultural Affairs, Head of the Statistics Bureau and other key partners.
This study looks beyond income to understand the real challenges children face—covering seven critical areas of need: food and nutrition, health services, education, protection, adequate housing, facilities including clean water and sanitation, and access to information.
A summary of key findings:
- In 2023, 11.98 percent of children live in monetary poor households
- Around 37 percent (nearly 30 million children) face deprivations in least two domains
- 30 percent of children are multidimensionally poor even if their families are not classified as financially poor
- Around 8 percent of Indonesian children (6.5 million) are both monetary poor and face multiple overlapping deprivations
- Significant disparities are observed depending on area of residence
- Higher multidimensional child deprivation is associated with lower education levels of the household.
Over the years, Indonesia has made significant progress on children's rights and wellbeing. By conducting this study and rethinking how childhood poverty is measured and monitored, Indonesia is demonstrating its determination to understand how poverty affects children in their daily lives. The Government has placed a high priority on human capital development with significant investments already in place.
Human capital development goes hand in hand with investing in children - the right investments at the right time of a child's life.
The report's recommendations will inform further interministerial policy dialogue and fine-tuning of approaches as needed - so that investments lead to even greater and sustained impact for children.
Congratulations to Indonesia for this significant step forward!
And my appreciation to our social policy team & all others who supported this - Yoshimi Nishino Bheta A. Ratnawati Muyanto Mohammed Shafiqul Islam, PhD Bernadetta Ninda
