 Problems and constraints
1.Low Quality Human Resources

Measured from: low level of education, degree of public health and unproductive workforce
 
• Educational level is still low Population aged 10 years and over who complete primary education (29.82%),upper secondary education (17.74%), College
education level (2.16%).

• Working population aged 15 and older(159,884 people) = low educational level

• Public health is still a major (lack of health care coverage when Siak was still part of the Bengkalis regency)

• High malnourished children under = 3.1% of all children under five

• 50% of people = do not use iodine salt resulted in high rates of disturbance due to iodine (IDD)

• 85% - 90% Elementary school children in Tualang suffer from anemia

• High number maternal mortality (MMR), 320/100.000

• Quite high infant mortality (IMR) 42/1.000 live births

• the use of clean water in rural areas(low),only 20% of the 60% Target, urban areas = 25% of the 80% of the national target

• Available labour is less innovative, creative and unable to utilise

technology

are looking for a job as many as 2,341 people

•A part of the society that prioritises degrees
of his /her own right, affecting the
relationship in laws that are less harmonious,
and will be a barrier for the region to speed
up the recovery of law enforcement for its
development
