5 Key Targets Towards an Advanced Indonesia

Indonesia, as a country that is developing rapidly economically, has set a big ambition to become a developed country by 2045. To achieve this ambitious target, the government has formulated five main targets contained in the National Long Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025- 2045.

These five targets include (1) Per capita income equivalent to developed countries; (2) Poverty reaches 0% and inequality decreases; (3) Leadership and influence in the international world increases; (4) The competitiveness of human resources (human capital) increases; (5) Greenhouse gas emissions decrease towards net zero emissions.

The establishment of the five targets for the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision cannot be separated from a number of challenges for Indonesia’s human development.

Currently, Indonesia occupies 96th position out of 174 countries, with the Human Capital Index increasing from 0.50 to 0.54 (2010-2020).

These indicators include Expected Years of Schooling, Harmonized Test Score, and Learning-Adjusted Years of Schooling for the education component.
