Theoretical economic growth is influenced by
population (human resources), natural resources,
physical capital, and human capital (Mankiw, 2009).
As one of the factors that influence economic growth,
the main role of the population is in terms of
providing labor. Moreover, the population with
superior quality of human capital will be a more
productive workforce. Indonesia as a country with a
large population is expected to be able to take
advantage of the abundance of the population as a
driving force for economic growth.
Conceptually, the population affects the output of
the economy. High economic output can be obtained
from the production of goods and services carried out
by residents. The more population, a country will be
able to produce more goods and services, which
means it can consume more goods and services. This
will further encourage economic growth (Thuku et al,
2013).
Output is usually measured by Gross Domestic
Product (GDP). Gross Domestic Product shows the
total value of final goods and services produced by all
economic units. Economic growth occurs when an
economy is able to increase GDP from the previous
period.
On the other hand, Keynesian theory states that
national income growth is determined by the amount
of consumption expenditure, government
expenditure, investment and net exports. To increase
economic growth as measured by increasing national
income, an increase in consumption demand, demand
for government expenditure, investment demand, and
demand is needed. export and import. The
implementation of both concepts and theories
(Classical and Keynesian) can be used to calculate
economic growth both on a national scale and at the
scale of regional macroeconomics.
According to Salvator (1990), it implies that
exports are one of the engines of economic growth in
its study showing that exports are one of the main
factors for developing countries to increase their
economic growth. Increased exports by developing
countries can drive output and economic growth.
The impact of population, consumption and
exports in their influence on economic growth in
Indonesia still has to be studied. Thus, the process of
improving the country's economy on a macro level
can be achieved and felt by all communities in
particular. From the description above, the author is
interested in conducting research with the title "
Effects of Population, Consumption and Exports on
Economic Growth in Indonesia Period of 2005-2017"
2 THEORICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 Population
According to the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS),
population are all people who are domiciled in the
geographical area of Indonesia for 6 months or more
and / or those who live less than 6 months but aim to
settle. According to Maltus (in Lincolin Arsyad,
2010) that the general tendency of the population of a
country to grow according to a series of
measurements is to double every 30-40 years.
Meanwhile, at the same time, due to the decreasing
yield of the land production factor, the food supply
only grows according to the arithmetical series.
Because the growth of the food supply cannot keep
pace with the very fast and high population growth,
per capita income (in the farming community is
defined as per capita food production) will tend to fall
to very low, which causes the population to never
stabilize, or only slightly above the subsiten level
Population growth is a dynamic balance between
two forces that increase or decrease the population.
The development of the population will be influenced
by the number of babies born but simultaneously will
also be reduced by the number of deaths that can
occur in all age groups. In the spatial context of
population mobility also affects changes in
population, where immigration will increase the
population and emigration will reduce the population
in a region.
In the theory of growth according to Kuznet prior
to the era of growth, the economic activities of the
population were concentrated from the extractive
primary sectors, namely agriculture, fisheries and
mining. The process of economic growth has since
been characterized by a diversification of sectoral
activities with the growth of various types and types
of industries (Djojohadikusumo, 2004).
2.2 National Consumption
Household consumption expenditure is one of the
macroeconomic variables. A person's consumption
expenditure is part of the income spent. If the
consumption expenditure of all people in a country is
added up, then the result is the consumption
expenditure of the country concerned.
In macro terms, public consumption expenditure
is directly proportional to national income. The
greater the income, the greater the consumption
expenditure. The comparison of the size of the
additional consumption expenditure to income is
called Marginal Propensity to Consume: MPC. In
societies whose economic life is relatively unstable,
their MPC numbers are relatively large, while their
MPS numbers are relatively small, meaning that if
they get additional income, most of the additional
