Population pollution in Jakarta

With the development of economy and scientific technological progress.As a developing country,Indonesia is also making progress.

Jakarta is the capital and political and cultural center of Indonesia,Population 14,200,000, and continues to rise.The city's transportation infrastructure construction is very backward. So it has become one of the most congested cities in the world.

A recent survey by the Indonesian Demographic Institute shows that after the Eid holidays, Jakarta will usher in 68,500 foreign population, an increase of 34% over last year. The arrival of foreign workers, on the one hand to the city's development has provided sufficient cheap labor, on the other hand also to this already crowded city brought a series of problems.

At present,Jakarta is one of the world's most densely populated cities. The influx of migrants every year exacerbates local traffic congestion, environmental pollution, inadequate resources and poverty. Jakarta simply can not absorb a large number of foreign population. Although manufacturing, finance and services are more intensive in Jakarta, these modern industries require skilled technicians, while the majority of the foreign population are under-educated and non-technical. As a result, most of the migrant labor is concentrated in the informal employment sector, and many people simply can not find a job.

Jakarta's problems highlight the embarrassment that Indonesia's urbanization is facing. Indonesia's urbanization is characterized by relatively concentrated urban population, mainly in a few large cities, which led to uneven distribution of resources and regional development, which is all the root causes of the problem. Jakarta focused on the best resources in Indonesia, the country's priority development policies and the influx of a large number of foreign capital to stimulate the city's rapid economic development and create a large number of jobs. However, many parts of Indonesia's infrastructure is backward, the economy is underdeveloped, job opportunities, local surplus labor can only be exported.

I think that Indonesia should slow down the pace of urbanization. The government must re-adjust the urban development system, the rational allocation of resources to medium-sized cities, the development of local infrastructure to stimulate local economic development, rather than over-reliance on foreign direct investment.

At present, the Indonesian government has launched a blueprint for economic construction, plans to invest 200 billion US dollars, and enterprises and foreign investors, the five islands in Indonesia for the development of different characteristics of the development of investment plans. Earlier this year, the government also provided each village with a development fund of 1 billion to 1.4 billion rupiah (US $ 1.17 million rupiah) and plans to develop agricultural projects in rural areas to promote local employment.
