Mobility Country Report

Indonesia

East Asia & Pacific · Upper middle income

Two forces shape how many students a country sends abroad: the supply of domestic education (quality and capacity at home) and the demand drivers (who wants to leave, and who can afford to). The headline index for each axis is the mean percentile — versus every country that year — of a fixed core basket; other indicators are shown as context.

Supply — domestic education

Index = Education Index + tertiary enrolment. Weak supply itself drives students abroad.

Demand — drivers to study abroad

Index = GDP per capita + outbound mobility + population (market scale).

The headline index uses the core basket only, so it stays comparable across countries and matches the trend chart and world map below. PISA (≈80 countries, triennial) is shown as context, not in the index.

Supply & demand over time

20002023

Each axis indexed 0–100 by its position relative to the world that year, so a rising line means Indonesia is climbing the global ranks. A widening gap between demand (above) and supply (below) signals growing pressure to study abroad.

Index basket (held constant for comparability): supply = Education Index + tertiary enrolment ratio; demand = GDP per capita (PPP) + outbound mobility ratio + population.
