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 assesses the current situation of child welfare in Indonesia and encourages dialogue among policymakers on appropriate policy orientations.
