The 4 key statistics that decide it
Only these place Indonesia on health & wellbeing — one vote each. Every value is the publisher’s own, read at the edition the Country Index 2026 used — or, for a survey-based key, each country’s latest reading; the grey ticks are every other country it was compared with, lowest on the left.

08Questions
Indonesia on health & wellbeing: questions answered
Every answer is built from the numbers on this page, so none can say something the page does not.
How does Indonesia rank on health & wellbeing?
Indonesia is placed 137th of 200 countries on Health & Wellbeing in the Country Index 2026, from 3 of its 4 key statistics (Life Expectancy at Birth, Under-Five Mortality Rate and Stunting Prevalence in Children Under Five). The position is this site’s ordering of published statistics, not a rank any publisher printed.
What is the latest Life Expectancy at Birth figure for Indonesia?
71.15 in 2023 (years a newborn would live at current death rates), according to UN DESA Population Division. The world median in the same edition was 74.63.
What is the latest Under-Five Mortality Rate figure for Indonesia?
17.69 in 2024 (deaths before age five (per 1,000 live births)), according to UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME). The world median in the same edition was 14.54.
How does Indonesia compare with Malaysia on health & wellbeing?
Malaysia is placed 99th of 200, and Indonesia 137th. Life Expectancy at Birth: Malaysia 76.66, Indonesia 71.15; Under-Five Mortality Rate: Malaysia 8.309, Indonesia 17.69; Stunting Prevalence in Children Under Five: Malaysia 21.2, Indonesia 22.01.
How have Indonesia’s health & wellbeing figures changed?
Life Expectancy at Birth rose from 66.29 in 2000 to 71.15 in 2023; Under-Five Mortality Rate fell from 51.38 in 2000 to 17.69 in 2024; Prevalence of Severe Food Insecurity rose from 0.7 in 2015 to 0.8 in 2018.
Which health & wellbeing statistics are missing for Indonesia?
No current reading is published for Indonesia on Children with Functional Difficulties, Excess Mortality During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Fatal Occupational Injuries, Global Report on Food Crises, Insecticide-Treated Net Use, Prevalence of Severe Food Insecurity and Violent Discipline of Children. They are listed rather than hidden, so the evidence on the page can be checked against it.
09Method
Method, sources and how to cite
What this topic does not measure
Health spending, hospital beds and doctors per person are not measured, because more of any of them does not guarantee better outcomes. Mental health and self-reported happiness are not part of this topic. Food supply per person is measured under Food & Agriculture. Maternal mortality and many other indicators are published here as context; maternal mortality is a key in Development & Human Capital instead.
How the Health & Wellbeing standing is decided
A standing is this site’s ordering, named with its edition — never a publisher’s rank. 4 key statistics vote, one vote each; every country’s published value becomes a place within that key’s own field, the places are averaged, and the average is never published. A country needs 2 of the 4 keys to be placed.
