Jakarta’s human development continues
to improve. This progress is indicated by
the rise in the 2022 Human Development
Index (HDI). The rise in HDI was supported
by an increase in the HDI’s three basic
dimensions, such as a long and healthy life
measured by life expectancy at birth (e0),
access to knowledge measured by expected
years of schooling (EYS) and mean years
of schooling (MYS), and a decent standard
of living measured by adjusted per capita
expenditure.
Jakarta’s HDI in 2022 reached 81,65, up
0,67 percent from the previous year. This
was supported by increase in e0 by 0,42
percent, EYS by 0,08 percent, MYS by
1,25 percent, and per capita expenditure
adjusted by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
by 2,20 percent.
The solving of COVID-19 pandemic
and the robust economic recovery have
supported the greater human development
of Jakarta. This is indicated by the spread
of vaccination coverage, the lower
COVID-19 death rate, so the government
decided to relax the restrictions for public
activities. On the other hand, the economic
growth is increasing, the unemployment
rate is decreasing, and the poverty rate is
decreasing in March 2022 compared to
March 2021.
