City Report
Surabaya is Indonesia’s
second largest city and the major sea port of Eastern Java. It has
grown rapidly to its current population of roughly 2.7 million. The
city follows Indonesia in its basic pattern of growth. Rapid mortality
decline after 1950 produced high rates of population
growth and a young population. In the 1970-80’s a major
successful national family planning program brought down fertility,
beginning in East Java. In 1970 the 0-14 age group in Indonesia
constituted 44 percent of the population, and the aged were a mere 3
percent; by 2000 the young had dropped to 31, the aged were 4 percent;
by 2025 it is projected that the young will constitute only 23 percent,
while the aged will be 8 percent. East Java was more advanced in that
by 2000 the young constituted only 25 percent of the population and the
aged were 12 percent. Surabaya has an even smaller young population,
but its aged are fewer than all of East Java, where a greater number of
aged remain in the villages. Still, there is an increasing migration of
the aged, especially older women, migrating to the city. In 2005
roughly 8 percent of the population was 65 or over, and the sex ratio
in this age group was only 89 males for every 100 females.
In the city government, the Health and Social Departments are the two
units directly concerned with the aged. The health department has
clinics in each of the city’s 53 wards. While they provide
comprehensive medical care, they are also beginning to have a special
interest in the aged. The Social Department oversees a number of
community associations (Kerang Werda and Gerontologi Abiyoso) that
provide a variety of services, including homes for the aged population.
It is now recognized that the elderly population is growing and will
require more services. The city government will begin with expanding
the role of the community organizations.

A large number of
aged organizations in
every district (about 33 organizations)- members of these
organizations

Existing
Conditions:

workers handling the elderly

strength of
the community
Lack of support by
