Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Minister of Population and Family\nDevelopment (Wamendukbangga)\/Deputy Head of the National Population and\nFamily Planning Board (BKKBN) Ratu Ayu Isyana Bagoes Oka stated that\nwomen play a strategic role as the pillar of success in building a\nquality generation towards Golden Indonesia 2045.<\/p>\n
In an official statement in Jakarta on Sunday, Isyana highlighted\nthat women, especially mothers, hold a key role in ensuring the\nreadiness of the next generation to face future challenges, while also\nsupporting the implementation of the government\u2019s national priority\nprogrammes.<\/p>\n
According to her, Indonesia is currently at an important momentum in\nthe form of a demographic bonus, where the number of the working-age\npopulation exceeds the non-working-age population. This condition must\nbe optimally utilised through quality human development.<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen are not only part of development but the main driver of\nchange. If infrastructure has been strengthened, then improving the\nquality of human resources, especially women, becomes very crucial, as\noutlined in the fourth AstaCita of President Prabowo Subianto,\u201d said\nDeputy Minister Isyana.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, she emphasised that nation-building must start from the\nsmallest unit, namely the family. The formation of the Ministry of\nPopulation and Family Development\/BKKBN in October 2024 is a concrete\nmanifestation of the government\u2019s commitment to strengthening the role\nof the family as the foundation of national development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe role of women in the family is very significant, from educating,\ncaring for, to managing household life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Deputy Minister Isyana added that the challenges of child-rearing\ntoday are increasingly complex along with the development of technology\nand continuously changing social dynamics. Therefore, parents are\nrequired to keep learning and adapting.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe world keeps moving, the way we communicate also changes. Parents\nmust be willing to keep learning and enhancing their knowledge so they\ncan properly accompany their children,\u201d said the Deputy Minister.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur approach is based on the life cycle, starting from in the womb,\ntoddlers, adolescents, to the elderly, so that human development runs\nholistically and sustainably,\u201d said Deputy Minister Isyana.<\/p>\n
She also highlighted the importance of attention to adolescent and\nelderly groups as part of family development, considering that\nadolescents today face increasingly complex challenges, including mental\nhealth. In addition, maintaining the productivity of the elderly also\nbecomes an important part in welcoming the demographic bonus.<\/p>\n
\u201cAdolescents need space to share and get solutions. Therefore, we\nprovide counselling forums so they do not feel alone in facing problems.\nWe also must ensure that the elderly remain empowered and productive,\nbecause this is part of what we call the second demographic bonus,\u201d said\nDeputy Minister Isyana.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-minister-of-population-and-family-development-women-as-the-pillar-of-success-for-golden-indonesia-2045-1777780332", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
