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
