Indonesia’s life expectancy rose from 63 years in 1990 to 71 years by 2019, driven by poverty reduction, improved healthcare infrastructure, and public health campaigns. Gains during the 1990s were supported by expanded immunization programs and initiatives to reduce maternal and child mortality. However, progress slowed after 2020, with life expectancy stabilizing at 68 years, reflecting challenges in addressing non-communicable diseases and healthcare disparities.
