International Social Security Review, 1996, vol. 49, issue 1, 51-71

Abstract: Indonesia is one of the world's largest countries, with a population of some 190 million people. Although considered poor in terms of virtually every economic indicator at the start of the first national development plan some 25 years ago, the nation has consistently improved in performance year by year. This paper argues that the development of social security has been inextricably linked to the remarkable economic growth. The commencement of the second national development plan period (1994‐2019) offers a timely opportunity to review Indonesian social security progress to date, to consider the challenges ahead, and to speculate on how social security can best contribute towards national objectives such as the development of human resources and the alleviation and eradication of poverty.
