Increasing the number of elderly people in the world creates an opportunity for the tourism business. To be in line with this, business players in the tourism sector have to cope with their social demographic factors such as age, gender, income, cultural values, and also promotion methods to promote senior tourism. The objective of this study is to describe the social demographic characteristics and needs of potential elderly people so that business players can utilize the phenomena and collected information as a benefit to promote tourism for elderly people or senior tourism. This study used SWOT analysis to identify strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat of senior tourism business as well as to formulate strategies for senior tourism. The literature review was conducted to collect information about elderly people having senior tourism. It is found that social demographic characteristics influence the needs and motivation of elderly people in senior tourism. Senior tourists from high-income levels need high quality of service, beautiful scenery, and privacy while those from middle-income levels prefer attractions and festivals. Senior tourists with “young at heart” prefer more challenging activities as well as younger and male senior tourists, while those with “old at heart” put higher concern on convenience and security as well as older and female tourists. Leisure, cultural values, and personal achievement motivate elderly people to have senior tourism. Leisure with family and parents motivates senior tourism in Asia but living away from materialistic life is more appropriate for western people. Creating several traveling packages to adapt to various characteristics of elderly people will enlarge the market for the tourism sector. Providing better facilities adopting physical need of elderly people make them confident to travel. Business players can use digital social media to promote senior tourism to elderly people as well as to current adult children since current old parents experience higher technological exposure rather than their previous counterparts.

Fertility control has been one of the priorities of development in Indonesia. However, the 2000 and 2010 population censuses showed an increase in fertility indicators. To identify the sources of increased fertility in developed and less developed areas, DKI Jakarta and East Nusa Tenggara Provinces were selected for comparison. Using 2000 and 2010 census data, the decomposition analysis shows that the increase in Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of DKI Jakarta was dominated by the increase in nuptiality rate, while the increase in TFR of East Nusa Tenggara was mainly caused by the increase in Marital Fertility Rate (MFR). The highest increase in the proportion of married women in DKI Jakarta occurs in the age group of 15-19 years old, followed by the age group of 20–24 years old. The increase in MFR in East Nusa Tenggara occurs in nearly all age groups, particularly in the age groups of 30–34 and 35–39 years old. Identifying the sources of the increase in TFR is important for population policy to support population growth control, fertility reduction, and human resource quality improvement. The main suggestions based on the findings are the promotion of higher educational level and the benefits of postponing marriage among the younger age groups in DKI Jakarta as well as the use of contraceptive methods to control birth rate in East Nusa Tenggara.
