Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji ukuran yang telah ada untuk mengidentifikasi status kelas penduduk dan mengenali kelas menengah Indonesia menggunakan ukuran baru dalam bentuk indeks komposit tertimbang yang menggabungkan variabel ekonomi dan nonekonomi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jumlah kelas menengah Indonesia yang dihitung menggunakan Indeks lebih kecil daripada yang dihitung menggunakan ukuran pengeluaran per kapita yang mengindikasikan bahwa kelas menengah dapat dikenali tidak hanya dari tingkat pengeluarannya saja, tetapi juga dari kondisi perumahan, tingkat pendidikan, status pekerjaan, dan gaya hidup. Kelas menengah Indonesia didominasi oleh penduduk berusia produktif dan lebih banyak tinggal di perkotaan. Selain itu penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa sebagian besar kepala rumah tangga kelas menengah masih berpendidikan di bawah SD/sederajat dengan mayoritas melakukan pekerjaan nonformal. Kelas menengah Indonesia diramalkan masih akan bertumbuh seiring dengan perbaikan pendapatan, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan.

This research aims to test the competence of existing measurement in identifying class status and to identify Indonesian middle class using a new approachment that combines economic and noneconomic measurements. The result shows that the size of middle class that counted by composite index is smaller than the estimation produced by single economic variable measurement. It means that middle class can be identified not merely by its expenditure but also its accomplishment in housing, education, job, and lifestyle. Indonesian middle class is majority constituted by young people and lives in urban area. Most of head of middle class household are low educated and having informal job. The number of Indonesian middle class is predicted to still be expanding mainly driven by the improvement in income, education level, and jobs.

What holds Indonesia together? 'A strong leader' is the answer most often given. This book looks instead at a middle level of society. Middle classes in provincial towns around the vast archipelago mediate between the state and society and help to constitute state power. 'Middle Indonesia' is a social zone connecting extremes. This book examines the rise of an indigenous middle class in one provincial town far removed from the capital city. Spanning the late colonial to early New Order periods, it develops an unusual, associational notion of political power. 'Soft' modalities of power included non-elite provincial people in the emerging Indonesian state. At the same time, growing inequalities produced class tensions that exploded in violence in 1965-1966.
