Analysis of Migration Trends, Marriage, and Fertility in Indonesia 2010-2025
Abstract
This study aims to analyze trends in recent migration, marriage, and fertility in Indonesia during the 2010-2025 period as part of the ongoing demographic transition. This study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model. Data were collected through literature studies using secondary data obtained from publications of Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and the World Bank. The results show that recent migration in Indonesia tends to decline, indicating changes in population mobility patterns. Marriage indicators also exhibit different trends, where the Crude Marriage Rate (CMR) and General Marriage Rate (GMR) tend to decrease, while the proportion of ever married women aged 10 years and above shows an increasing trend. Meanwhile, fertility tends to decline, reflecting changes in reproductive behavior and family formation patterns. These findings indicate that Indonesia is experiencing a demographic transition characterized by changes in mobility, marriage behavior, and fertility patterns. The implications of this study highlight the need for adaptive population policies that support balanced regional development, strengthen family resilience, and anticipate future demographic challenges, including population ageing and changes in labor force composition.
