DEMOGRAPHIC VARIABLES AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE FOR BUSINESS ACTIVITIES By TadjuddinNoer Effendi Faculty Economic and Businiss GadjahMada University Yogyakarta 2014
Why demography is need to be understood for business (peoples) or activities? • Almost all private and public sector activity has the ultimate aim of producing or delivering some kind of good or service to people • A necessary and fundamental preliminary to efficient and effective production and delivery of goods and services is need supporting a detailed knowledge of the population and social situation
Other reasons • Demographic variables have potentiality to provide basic data and information to help in strengthening business activities and prospect of market for the future. • Demographic variables such as age structures, education and employment can determine nature of business and market situation.
Theoretically the relationship between demographydemography business activities can be analysis from two perspectives 1. Demographyvariables place as an independent variable Demographic variables Business activities Number of population Population growth and density Population structures (Age, education, employment etc) Economic and social condition
2. Demography variables place as a dependent variables Business activities Demography Industries Number of population Services Population structures Agriculture Employment Unemployment
An example for industry Batam before as an industry areas its number of population about 60.000 inhabitants. Since its as an industry areas number of population has increase in 1990 approximately 106.667, in 2000 434.299 and in 2010 949.775. Population growth in period 1990-2000 about 15.6%/year and 2000-2010 7.7%/year. Contribution of in-migration, particularly working age population, for population growth is high. As a result, approximately 65% of population are working age population. This has an implication for business activities for serving the need of working age population. An example for service Yogyakarta as a centre for education and tourism also the age structures tend to higher proportion in working age population. Business activities are related to serve student facilities service or to support tourism activities
An example for agriculture For example the implication of business activities on demography, we see from comparison between palm oil activities in Sumatera and paddy activities in Java Palm oil activities in rural Sumatera have an implication on demography, more specifically on rural-urban migration. In North Sumatera in period 1971-1980 in-migration to urban, especially to Medan (since industrial development), were relatively higher, population growth about 8.9%/year. However since the increase of palm oil product (CPO) in international market lead to increased income of people involved in palm oil activities have reduced of rural-urban migration incident. Many young generations willing to stay in rural areas to involve in palm oil activities since it can give more better in cash income than other activities. Also many young people back in to rural areas (return migration) since palm oil products (CPO) increase. In period 1999-2000 Medan city population growth about 0.97 %/year and in period 2000-2010 0.75%/year. On the other hand, some districts of North Sumatera that hinterland has majority of population involve in palm oil activities their population growth increase. Population growth (%/year) Districts 1990-2000* 2000-2010** Labuhan Batu 1.42 2.29 Deli Serdang 2.09 2.94 Asahan 0.58 0.85 Source, *BPS, 2000, Penduduk Indonesia: Hasil Sensus Penduduk 2000, Seri RBL1.2, Jakarta, p.172 **BPS, 2010, Penduduk Indonesia: Menurut Propinsi dan Kab/kota sensus penduduk 2010, Jakarta, p. 17-18
Paddy areas of rural Java Many young generation of paddy areas of rural Java are likely to migrate to other areas (urban) in order to get better job and income. May be this cause of income generated from agriculture activities especially paddy tend to uncertainty and low. No doubt young generation have finished secondary level tend to leave rural areas in looking for job and better income as their aspiration that may not available in rural areas. This indication can be seen from population growth data of selected districts of rural Java.

FOCUS OF DISCUSSION • NUMBER OF POPULATION, POPULATION DISTRIBUTION, AND POPULATION DENSITY • POPULATION GROWTH • POPULATION STRUCTURES AGE EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT • THEIR CHANGES OVER TIME AND IMPLICATIONS ON MARKET SITUATION AND BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
NUMBERS OF POPULATION, DISTRIBUTIONS AND POPULATION DENSITY HOW WE ANALISYS THOSE VARIABLES? • To analysis those variables we need demography data For examples, we use Indonesian case and data. We can analysis by islands provinces districts sub-district
Population numbers by gender, distribution, and density of main island, Indonesia, 2010 Sumber: BPS, 2010, Penduduk Indonesia menurutkabupaten/kotahasilsensus 2010, Jakarta, hal. 10-11
Source of Indonesian Population Data Population census (every 10 year ) 1961, 1971, 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010 Laborer Survey (Sakernas) every year since 1976 Inter Census Survey (every 5 year) National Social-economic survey (Susenas) every year since 1976 Rural Potentiality (Podes) Special publication (wages, consumption index others) BPS sometime use similar concept but different definition . We need to check the definition before we comparing the data.
POPULATION GROWTH Population growth can be used for basic information in investment planning. It can give us information about existing, and prospect of population (potential market) in the future.
Factors determine the low of population growth. 1. The decline of fertility rate in few provinces are caused of some factors namely: • Social change, especially female education has increased and female has initiated to enter the labor market of public sectors in order to get wages. This brings change in social (life) behavior of women, especially towards marriage. They tend to delay marriage since they have to finish education for the sake of their career development in work place. For the married women, planning spacing of pregnancy is becoming a norm and the preference to have children depend on the family economic condition. Two children have already been a norm in young families. • The awareness in birth control have spread out and have already been accepted in the society • The first age marriage have increased significantly, especially for young generations followed with young eligible couples • Small family norm are starting to be accepted and children are seen to be an economic burden (not as fortune any more) • Service towards the effort to controlling and delaying pregnancy are available and easy to find.
2. The decline of mortality rate is caused from several factors namely: • Prevention for infection and spread disease has improved significantly. People are already free from the spread diseases. • Primary health care had developed and spread out so that people have easy access to find the health services. • Access to service for pregnancy, childbirth, and modern facilities for mother, baby and child are already easy to find. • Incidence of poverty tended to decline and family health nutrition had been improved and nutrition for child under five years has improved significantly. • Life expectancy for all age has increased.

Indonesian Population in the future • Each year population increase 1.49% or about 4 million. In 2050 number of population will reach about 350 million • In Java number of population about 210 million or about 60% of Indonesianpopulation. • Population life in urban areas about 60%
POPULATION STRUCTURES • Age • Education • Employment
Age Population growth both caused by fertility or in and out /in migration would affect the age of population structures.
Implication the change of age structures Dependency ratio decrease Age productive (15 – 60 ) increase Age non productive (0-14) decline Old population (>65) increase but still low This demograhic situation called as DEMOGRAPIC BONUS or DEMOGRAPHIC DEVIDEN led to decline in dependency ratio Demographic bonus can stimulate economic growth Social cost for age groups 0-10 decrase The cost can be shifted for saving and investation → purchasing power increase → middle class growing → market expansion Demographic bonus occurred only ones in demographic history of a nation

Age structures and consumption The areas where demographic analysis may be most helpful to businessman are: • It can help in identification the location of potential market. • it can help in understanding the behavior of the diverse consumer groups that make up markets for goods and services both for existing situation and for the future.

EDUCATION • Education is one important information for business activity especially for investors. Information on population education structure of a region could give a picture of the skill formation of the labors that are needed to support business activities. • The region with low population education maybe less attractive for business activities which needs support from skilled labors. For business activities that do not need unskilled labors the low education structure would not be a problem but the level of wage would still be in consideration. Usually educated skill labors require different wages from unskilled labors. • Business activities that are trying to find low wage levels usually look for regions with low population education structures.
Education continue • Education in a normal condition could also be used as an indicator for the economic status of a population. Regions with a relatively high population education structure tend to have high incomes. Because of that it could also be used as proxy purchasing power of population. • The lifestyle of the population is affected by education. Based on those reasons, the need for goods and services for the population with better education is different from uneducated.

Employment Besides education as discussed in the previous section, labor force and employment data could also be use as an indicator to examine the social and economic transformation process of a region.
