University students are part of the social elite who can become the instigators of social transformation.

Jakarta University students will serve as the backbone for realizing Advanced Indonesia 2045, secretary to the head of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP), Achmad Uzair Fauzan, stated at a webinar on Saturday.

Advanced Indonesia 2045 is closely linked to the demographic bonus, or when the Indonesian population is expected to be dominated by people in the productive age category, that is, between the ages of 15 to 64, he explained.

In theory, when a population is dominated by people from the productive age, there are many citizens who are earning an income and who can bolster the economic prosperity of the nation, he explained.

Thus, Indonesia has a huge potential for becoming an advanced nation by 2045, which is why university students, as the engine of social transformation, should optimize this opportunity, he said.
