Indonesia's orphanages are under-researched
Relatively little research has been undertaken into Indonesia’s orphanages or panti asuhan. While contributions have been made from disciplines including political science, history, social anthropology, psychology and psychiatry, more research is needed on how these institutions impact upon child development, wellbeing and rights. The numbers, ages and health of children in orphanages need to be better understood. Community and religious attitudes toward orphanages and the role of philanthropy also remain to be explored in greater depth.
