Comparison of 2023 Marriage and Divorce Indicators between Indonesia and Other Countries

This study aims to analyze marriage and divorce trends in Indonesia and compare them with two countries that have different characteristics, namely Japan (the lowest marriage rate) and the United States (the highest divorce rate). Data were obtained from official sources such as the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia, and relevant international institutions. Comparisons with Japan and the United States reveal significant differences in marriage and divorce patterns, which are influenced by social, cultural, economic, and policy factors. These findings provide a basis for the formulation of policies that support family stability in Indonesia.
