Abstract

This study has been conducted based on the literary reviews of some statistic data and the report of the BKKBN program in West Java Province. The BKKBN program is, associated with the attempt at suppressing the birth rate, today optimizing another approach in economics, education, health, politics, etc. as the means of integrating the society’s life into a better one. The attempt to integrating the society’s life is known as Kampoeng KB; it is an innovating program focusing on empowering the society by optimizing their participation and raising their awareness. Being inhabited by about 43 billion people or at being 18% of the total of the population in Indonesia, West Java Province seems to be the most populous region. Based on the demographic data, 66% of the population in West Java Province is at age 15-64 years old. It indicates that BKKBN needs to prepare themselves to face the demographic dividend. It means West Java Province has more the productive-age population than the non-productive. Through the Kampoeng KB, the government tries to improve the human resource in terms of education and skills, to provide more job vacancies which in turn it can build the job market, to increase the society’s savings, and to enhance the human resource in building up the economic growth.
