Stunting is a common issue in the global network. Stunting is one of the fundamental problems that hinder the development of toddlers in the world today and has received great international attention, at least in the last decade. In 2017, for example, around 150.8 million (22.2%) children in the world were stunted. The stunting prevalence data collected by WHO (2005-2017) puts Indonesia in third position, the country with the highest prevalence in the Southeast Asia region (36.4%). Basic health research data in 2018 shows the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is around 30.8% and is still below the world standard (WHO), which is a maximum of 20%. Many interventions have been carried out to reduce the prevalence of stunting, especially from a (specific) health aspect. However, interventions that only target specific interventions are still ineffective, hence the need for interventions that involve various sectors or stakeholders. The argument from this study is the need for stunting prevention interventions that involve multi-sectors, not only specific ones (health), but also sensitive interventions (Population, Family Planning, and Family Development programs). Strengthened by the latest research shows the focus of studies on multi-sector stunting prevention. Recent studies also prove that it is important to pay attention to a family-based approach (family development) in the prevention of stunting, especially in regards to birth interval management which has an effect on reducing the prevalence of stunting.
By 2050 about 70% of the world's population will live in cities. Now it is around 54%. In Indonesia, for example, BPS noted that the proportion of Indonesia's population living in urban areas was 49% in 2010 and in 2018 it was around 55%. Interestingly, in 2020 the percentage of the population living in urban areas will be dominated by the millennial generation (in the age range of 20-40 years), who are in fact of the productive age. This trend is inseparable from the urbanization factor (the process of becoming urban). With a literature study: reviews of various international and national journals, as well as literature sources for books and documents, this study argues the need for an urban socio-spatial policy in Indonesia that can adjust urban functions from the response to potential demographic changes that change naturally in society. Urban spatial planning must adjust to the conditions of the urban population, which is dominated by millennial generations. This generation will be an opportunity or vice versa to become a challenge and even a threat to Indonesia's progress in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
