What does the population pyramid tell us?

Indonesia 2010

Indonesia’s Core and Periphery

130 million (of 240 million) people live on Java

Java is a magnet

for people on

the periphery

What problems does this cause?

Major social and economic problems

Unemployment & Poverty

A lack of housing

A lack of adequate services

The response?A

transmigration policy

The government

wants to reduce

migrants moving to

Jakarta

So they needed to

provide places where the chance of

getting a job was as high as Jakarta

The policy resettles

people from the core to

the periphery in new

farming areas set up by the government

The migrants are given free

land, free transport to the area and

food and fertilizer for 12 months

Did it work?

Political Problems

• Little impact made as the rate of population increase on Java is high• The cost to the government is very high• The scheme relies on aid from the World Bank

Environmental Problems

• 10% of settlements have failed due to infertile soils• Some areas affected by volcanic activity and flooding• 49 million hectares of rainforest have been destroyed to accommodate people

• Soil erosion when the forests are cleared

Socio-economic problems

• There have been conflicts between local people and the newcomers• People remain poor as they cannot grow enough food to feed themselves• Native tribes have lost land and have been forced to move to other areas
