Children in Indonesia, as is the case in any country, are acutely vulnerable to the negative consequences of poverty. Thus, identifying and recognizing the characteristics of children living in poverty is the first line of defense against a rising child poverty rate. This report examines the child poverty situation in Indonesia based on a monetary dimension analysis.
This report assesses the current situation of child welfare in Indonesia and encourages dialogue among policymakers on appropriate policy orientations. Children experience poverty and deprivation differently from adults, as they have specific needs and vulnerabilities as well as lack agency when it comes to realizing their rights.

Dear Readers,
Every year on 23 July, we commemorate National Children’s Day. This is a fitting moment to explore a study by Bappenas, UNICEF Indonesia, and SMERU that places the perspectives of children and adolescents in marginal areas at the center of analysis. The study’s findings underscore the importance of incorporating their voices into more inclusive policymaking.
