Experience shows that locating the target for poverty reduction and social protection programs is one of the most crucial and difficult problems in the implementation of these programs. In Indonesia – a populous country which is very large in size, and where poverty statistics are reliable only down to the provincial-urban/rural level – geographic targeting of the poor is not an easy undertaking.
In the past few years, public policy towards the elderly has become an emerging policy issue for Indonesia. With one-third of all Indonesians predicted to be elderly (i.e. aged 60 years or older) in the year 2050, millions of citizens are vulnerable to old age poverty, since many of them will have little extra income (e.g. from savings or pension) to finance their livelihood in old age.
