1990年，30%的印度尼西亚人口无法获得改善的饮用水源。近 65% 的人无法获得改善的卫生设施，近 40% 的人露天排便。千年发展目标的目标之一是到 2015 年将弱势群体人数减少一半。我们利用世界卫生组织/联合国儿童基金会的报告和印度尼西亚的社会经济调查来探讨最近取得的进展。我们的结论是，该国在实现目标方面仍然面临巨大挑战，特别是在卫生设施方面。接下来，我们通过估计这些设施对腹泻发病率的影响来说明这些设施的重要性。我们发现卫生设施的相对重要性高于水。饮用水源“未经改善”的家庭患腹泻的可能性比其他家庭高约 12%。另一方面，由于缺乏改善的卫生设施，家庭成员患此病的可能性增加了约 23-27%。
In 1990, 30 per cent of Indonesian population had no access to improved drinking water source. Almost 65 per cent lacked access to improved sanitation-and almost 40 per cent defecate in the open. One of the Millennium Development Goals' objectives is to halve these numbers of disadvantaged by 2015. We explore the recent progress using World Health Organization/United Nations Children Fund report and the Indonesia's Socio-Economic Survey. We conclude that the country still face a great challenge to meet the targets, especially on sanitation. We next illustrate the importance of these facilities by estimating their impact on diarrhoea incidence. We find that the relative importance of sanitation is higher than that of water. A household with 'unimproved' drinking water source is about 12 per cent more likely to have diarrhoea than that otherwise. Lacking of improved sanitation, on the other hand, makes the household member about 23-27 per cent more likely to suffer from it.
