Population
About 83% of Indonesia's population is rural but the urban population has
been steadily increasing in common with most developing countries so that
the urban growth ratec projected for 1980-85 was 3.8% per annum and the
rural 2.4% per annum. However, the rates are now reducing due largely to
the success of the imaginative and energetic family planning programme.
National nutrition
nutritional anae~~a., the most vulnerable group being pregnant women (46-
92 • 5% women) ;
Nutrition prograrume
The Government of Indonesia and some of the United Nations Agencies have
supported an applied nutrition programme for several years to tackle the
above problems. It started as a rurally based programme in Central Java
in the early 1950s. In 1965-66 it was reorganised and expanded to cover
a total of ight c ·it of twenty-seven provinces and in 1972/3 after
10
evaluation when it was agreed that the priority target Group should be
pregnant women and nursing mothers it was expanded further into cities
including Jakarta.
Economy
The Gross Domestic Product (1980) was $67 billior?and economic growth
about 7.5% per annum, sustained mainly by the country's foreien exchange
earnings from oil, natural gas and primary commodities such as tin,
rubber, palm oil, coffee and timber. However, export earnings have
recently declined due mainly to the world recession and great efforts are
being made to reverse this trend by diversification, increased
manufacturing and processing industries within Indonesia and increased
non-oil exports.
Labour
The National Labour Force Survey-1 in 1977 listed the urban labour force
from the age of 10 as 7,5 million composed of 5,3 million men and 2.2
million women. The labour force figures for Jakarta are 1.7 million of
which 1.3 million are men and 400,000 are women.
Related studies
Some studies have been done of various aspects of women workers in several
industrial sectors. These inelude:
Nutrition of workers
Research into food habits in Indonesia is limited. Given the s1ze and

"a study of the social and cultural factors related with food
patterns and food habits should be done simultaneously with a
diet survey, a budget survey, a survey of the foodstuffs grown/
raised locally, and a survey of health conditions. We would
suggest that it is only this kind of approach which will
provide the information of all the relevant factors connected
with nutrition problems".
Summary of background
Various studies have shown that women in Indonesia face the worst
nutritional risks, especially regar~ing anaemia and goitre, greatly
reducing the quality of their life. Also their health status has a
crucial effect on the next generation of Indonesians.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Havine gathered the above b.formn.tion and studied the resrlts of it,
and noted any sirnificant correlations, to make tentative suggestions
as to how improvements might be made and, in agreement with factory
owners, to select smaller samples within each factory for an inter-
vention study in order to try to prove the hypothes~s and make the
desired improvement inwhatever were identified as ~he main problems.
To report fully both to the owners of the factories usP.d in the study
and to other similar ones on the information gathered, the problems
encountered and possible saloti0ns.

METHODOLOGY
Subjects
The residential workers tend to be youne, unmarried girls, who are often
recruited from the provinces and live in dormitories on the factory sites,
which tend to be on the outskirts of Jakarta. The day and shi~ workers
live in private acconunodation, often in kampungs either in the centre or
outskirts of the city.
The workers who are residential will have all their food provided by the
management, except when they are on leave. The day and shift workers may
have canteen facilities and some snacks provided, but it is likely that
most of their food will be consumed at home or brought from there, or
bougbt from vendors near the factory. Since there is likely to be only a
small element of food choice and little contact with the local community
and the residential workers, the i~plications of the study of food habits
of these workers is not so interesting as with day and shift workers.

This will be planned with the factories concerned on the basis of results

Indonesia at this time. Choice of intervention will also take into
account previous research in Indonesi.<.1 sue 1, as that n!c:-:.tioned above, as
well as studies on productivity in other countries, such as those in
~he Phil~ppines, Ke~yaj_Sri Lanka and In~e and suggestions made by

Personnel
1 Principal investigators:
Mrs Jill Mackilligin will conduct the research planninG, field research
in Indonesia afa1. the data analysis.
2 Three doctors to carry out medical examinations and take blood samples
will be recruited through the Department of Nutrition of the Faculty
of Medicine, Universit;r of Indonesia, Jakarta.
Data analysis
Preliminary analysis cf the dietary, he~lth and social data will be carried
out in Jakarta prior to the intervention. Final analysis will be done with
the assistance of a cumputer at tlit. Dep::i.rtment of Nutrition, Queen Elizabeth
College, University of London.
For dietary anaJysis the values for In,lonesian foods will be added fro:r:i the
Indonesian Food Tables to the cc:nputer programme at Q.11een Elizabeth College,
based on British Food Tables ( Mccance & '.-liddowson) .
