Analysis of risks and challenges to demographic bonuses in sustainable development programs through population policy transformation (case study in Central Java Province)

Abstract

Indonesia has experienced changes in various aspects due to the increasingly complex dynamics of the times. One of the triggers is related to the issue of the demographic bonus that is being experienced. The population of productive age is greater than that of non-productive age that the population growth will also increase. It is a problem because the increase in population is not matched by additional land. The government already has a population control program, as stipulated in the Family Planning Program (KB). In order to accelerate the population control mechanism, the government launched the Kampung KB program to reach out to the community more effectively. This study used the descriptive qualitative method. This study aimed to describe and analyse the risks and challenges to the Population Control Program environment in Central Java Province using SWOT. The result obtained that the high population with productive age can increase the population growth rate because Central Java Province is experiencing a demographic bonus.
