Indonesia has undergone a demographic transition since the 1970s that has led to significant changes in the population age structure. Life expectancy increased from 45 years to 67 years. The number of elderly people (60 years and above) rose from about 5 million in 1970 to 18 million in 2010, and is projected to increase to over 80 million by 2050.

The economic situation of the elderly is precarious. In 2012, 12.65 percent of older people (60 years and above) lived below the official poverty line. Older people, especially those aged 70 and above, have the highest poverty rate among all population groups, 14.92 percent. At the same time, a much greater proportion of the elderly population officially classified as poor is vulnerable to falling into poverty.

Currently, the coverage of existing pension schemes for the elderly is very low. The proportion of older people in receipt of civil service and military pension schemes, the only formally available pensions in Indonesia, was 15.5 percent of the population aged 60 years and above in 2010. These pension benefits, available to government workers, civil servants, military personnel and formal sector employees only, are usually insufficient to cover the basic needs of retirees. The Government of Indonesia has recognised these gaps in the social insurance schemes and is taking actions to improve pension coverage. ASLUT, the current social assistance programme targeted directly at the elderly, started in 2006 in six provinces targeting 2,500 beneficiaries. It has subsequently expanded to all 34 provinces and increased the number of recipients to 26,500 beneficiaries in 2013.

Social Assistance for The Elderly: The Role of The Asistensi Sosial Lanjut Usia Terlantar Programme in Fighting Old Age Poverty
ndonesia has undergone a demographic transition since the 1970s that has led to significant changes in the population age structure of the country. Life expectancy at birth increased from 45 years to 67 years. The number of elderly people aged 60 and above rose from about 5 million in 1970 to 18 million in 2010, and is projected to increase to over 71 million in 2050. The economic situation for many elderly persons is precarious. In 2011, 12 percent of older people were below the official poverty line. Older people, especially those in their 70s and those aged 80 and above, have the highest poverty rates among the population groups, 13.3 percent and 16 percent respectively. At the same time, a much greater proportion of the elderly population than officially classified as poor is vulnerable to falling into poverty. Moreover, many of the elderly suffer from poor health and have low literacy levels. Currently, the coverage of the elderly with the existing formal pension schemes is very low. The Government of Indonesia (GOI) recognizes the gaps in the social insurance schemes and is explicitly taking actions to improve pension coverage. ASLUT, the current social assistance programme targeted directly at poor and neglected elderly, started in 2006 in six provinces reaching 2,500 beneficiaries. It has recently expanded to all 33 provinces and increased the number of recipients to 13,250 in 2011, and 26,500 beneficiaries in 2012. This paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of the coverage provided to the elderly and recommends that the ASLUT programme be developed further to meet the demographic challenges that Indonesia faces.
