Household saving is very important, not only for securing the future spending of the family but also for the country’s economy. Using the logit analysis on data of The Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave three, four, and fve, this chapter analyses factors influencing, especially the role of ethnicity, upon the household savings in Indonesia. The result indicates that gender, location, and level of education are the consistent variables affecting the household saving behaviour in Indonesia across the three wave surveys. Meanwhile, as for the ethnic group variable, there are only Sunda, Batak, and Bima-Dompu that can signifcantly influence the people’s saving behavior across the three wave surveys.
