With the majority of Indonesia's 240 million people already struggling to obtain decent jobs, basic education and healthcare, experts warn that the annual birth rate of 4.5 million – equal to the population of Singapore – is unsustainable and unless the government acts quickly the population will reach 450 million by 2045.
