Indonesia’s development planning ministry said on Monday that Indonesia was set to lose its place as the world’s fourth most populous country by 2045 amid a slowing birth rate.
Survey results at the ministry prepared in conjunction with statistical agencies stating that Indonesia’s population growth will slow to 0.4% in 2045 from 1.17% last year, meaning that within the next 22 years Indonesia will have a population of 324 million, behind Nigeria and Pakistan.
Suharzo Monoarfa, Minister for Development Planning, said: “Our population growth is slowing every year. The average annual growth is 0.67% during 2020 – 2050.”
The South China Morning Post reported that The results of this study reflect massive population changes occurring around the world. This is especially true as incomes change and birth rates slow in middle-income countries.
