What the numbers say
In 2022, Indonesia's coverage of social protection and labor programs (% of population) rose 8.63 percentage points on 2021 (from 56.47% to 65.09%).
Across the 8 yearly changes before that (2012 to 2021), the average change was −0.92 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 7.64 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 13.21 percentage points in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 11.15 percentage points in 2019. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 7% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
How it compares
In 2022, Indonesia had the 6th highest value of the 11 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

What this measures
Coverage of social protection and labor programs (SPL) shows the percentage of population participating in social insurance, social safety net, and unemployment benefits and active labor market programs. Estimates include both direct and indirect beneficiaries.
Limitations: When interpreting ASPIRE performance indicators based on household surveys, it is important to note that the extent to which information on specific transfers and programs is captured in the household surveys can vary a lot across countries. Moreover, household surveys do not capture the universe of social protection programs in the country, in best practice cases just the largest programs. As a consequence, ASPIRE indicators are not fully comparable across program categories and countries; however, they provide approximate measures of social protection systems performance.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
