Abstract

The past projections for Indonesian population tend to overestimate the actual numbers. For example, the chosen
scenario in Iskandar’s projections based on 1971 Census produced a number close to 250 million as the total
population of Indonesia in 2000. The actual number is much smaller – 206 million. Part of the reasons is that early
models did not take into account significant improvements in education.

A more complex model has been proposed to account for the fact that, on average, more educated women have
fewer children as well as to allow for possible differences in mortality and migration patterns across people of
different education levels (KC et al. 2010).

In this paper, we illustrate the strength of the proposed model by comparing a projection that starts in 1971 (to be
comparable to Iskandar’s) but includes education as one of the factors to the past projections as well as to the actual
population in 2000. We consider several scenarios corresponding to different paths of educational improvements.
The results show that the education model produces numbers closer to the actual ones. We provide discussion of
how this affects the way we do future projections for Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a very high maternal mortality ratio and is unable to reach the target of SDG 3. Maternal
health care utilization has led to a reduction of maternal and child mortality as well as maternal morbidity.

Objective: The study examines the factors associated with the utilization of full antenatal care, skilled birth attendant
and post-natal care within 48 hours of delivery.

Data Source and Method: The data were used from Indonesia Demographic Health Survey, 2017. The bivariate and
multivariate logistic regression model has been applied to see the association with different independent variables.

Results: The proportion of women using; full antenatal care was only 21%, Skilled Birth Attendance was 40% and
Postnatal Care was 54%; the percentage is quite low and needs proper attention for women’s better health and
