Per Capita Income Fails to Reach Rp15 Million in 6 Years, Indonesian People Can Fail to Become a Developed Country for Life

Dream - Minister of Health (Menkes) Budi Gunadi Sadikin considers that Indonesia can only be considered a developed country if the average salary of its workers is at the level of US$13,000 per year, or Rp15 million per month.

However, according to Budi, the average salary of workers in Indonesia is still far from being categorized as a developed country.

"I am an economist, the definition of a developed country is clear. Per capita income is US$ 13,000 per year. So as long as we haven't reached that, we can't be considered a developed country,"
"ujar Budi dalam acara peresmian bersama Mal Pelayanan Publik (MPP), Kamis 7 Maret 2024, dilansir dari Liputan6.com." Budi said during the inauguration event together with the Public Service Mall (MPP), Thursday, March 7, 2024, as quoted from Liputan6.com.

Currently, the Minister of Health, who used to work as a banker, revealed that the average income of the Indonesian population is now around US$ 4,800. This means that the government needs to triple the income of its people to reach US$ 13,000. "If it's difficult to calculate in dollars for Indonesians, it can be converted to rupiah. The average monthly income should be Rp15 million, but currently it is Rp5 million in Indonesia," he said.

Although still far away, the Minister of Finance assesses that Indonesia still has time until 2030 to be able to increase the average salary of workers to Rp15 million per month. Because in that year, Indonesia will enjoy the peak of the demographic bonus.

"History proves that there are 5 years left until 2035. So, if Indonesia fails to reach US$ 13,000 within the next 6-11 years, for the rest of our nation's lifetime, our children and grandchildren will never experience life as citizens of a developed country,"

said Budi

"So we must ensure that in the next 6-11 years, we have to work very hard to increase GDP per capita from US$ 4,800 to US$ 13,000,"
"imbuhnya" translates to "its addition."

As an example, he mentioned that Brazil has closed its doors to become one of the developed countries. Despite the per capita income of the Samba State reaching US$ 8,200 per year, its population has now aged.

"I came there yesterday, went to the Puskesmas, which is visited by elderly people in Brazil. According to me, Brazil is very difficult to become a developed country because its population is already old, aging. They don't have the resources to reach US$ 13,000."
"ungkapnya" in English is "he/she revealed."
