    • Made up of thousands of islands
    • 4th largest population of any country
      • Over 240 millions
    • Most people live on the island Java
      • Around 130 million
    • Densely populated islands
      • Lack of adequate services and housing
      • Increased levels of poverty
      • Lots of unemployment
    • Started in the 1960s
    • Aimed to reduce the impacts of population growth
    • Millions of people moved from densely populated areas to less populated areas,e.g. Sumatra
    • Population is still unevenly distributed
    • Poverty is still a major issue
      • People didn't have skills to farm
      • Land was to infertile/poor for farming
    • Occupied islands by natives lead to conflict between natives and migrants
    • Hasn't helped sustainable development
