- Indonesia's Transmigration Policy
- 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
