Measures national poverty twice yearly using a consumption-based poverty line

In 1984, three-quarters of Indonesians lived on less than $2.15 a day. By 2023, that share was below 2%, lifting some 115 million people out of extreme poverty. On the $3-a-day line Our World in Data uses, the rate fell from 86% in 1984 to under 4% in 2025.
