Abstract

To assess Indonesia’s human capital index (HCI) in terms of health and education quality in comparison to other ASEAN nations. Analyzing secondary data released by the World Bank on the calculation of HCI in 2018, the Indonesian Ministry of Health’s Basic Health Research Report 2018, the Central Bureau of Statistics’ publication, and different foreign research papers. The validity of interpreting numbers using deducto verificato, which has scientific truth since it passes through scientific methodological phases that are widely acknowledged in the world of science. In 2018, Singapore acquired 0.90% of HCI, Vietnam 0.67%, Malaysia 0.65%, Thailand 0.61%, the Philippines 0.58%, Indonesia 0.55%, Camboja 0.49%, Myanmar 0.49%, Timor Leste 0.47%, and Laos 0.46%. Indonesia is ranked sixth among ASEAN countries, ahead of Cambodia, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, and Laos. This indicates that children born in Singpura may use their talents to create an income of 0.90%, but every kid born in Indonesia has only 55% of the resources to handle available possibilities. The remaining 0.45% is used for idle capacity. The remaining capacity is most likely due to a lack of nutrition, growth and development constraints, a low The Quality-Adjusted Life-Year due to various diseases, a lack of access to modern health services, a lack of classroom learning quality, and a lack of purchasing power, all of which are robbing the poor. Increasing HCI in Indonesia needs to be a serious concern of the Government, religious and social institutions, international agencies, communities, and families so that Indonesian people can compete in the 4.0 era.
