Implementation of the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) March 2022

BPS Boyolali Regency again carried out the March 2022 Susenas activity. This activity began to be carried out on March 8, 2022 with household updates on 87 selected Census Blocks.

The National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) is one of the most important sources of household socioeconomic data in Indonesia. Susenas data have been widely used by various groups, both at home and abroad. Therefore, the continuity of the availability and quality of Susenas data must be maintained and improved.

The quality of the survey data is influenced by two things, namely sampling error and non-sampling error. Quality data must have the lowest possible sampling error and non-sampling error. In an effort to obtain quality data from the side of low non-sampling error, then in its implementation (data collection) officers are needed who are responsible and able to carry out the data collection properly, so that there is a need for officer training as a provision for officers to the field.

As a follow-up to the results of the Limited Meeting (Ratas) on February 15, 2022, chaired by the President and attended by the Head of BPS, one of the results of the Ratas assigned BPS to monitor various social assistance programs from the government through the March 2022 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas). In connection with this, a briefing was held to convey several adjustments in the implementation of the March 2022 Susenas as follows:

1. Household Geotagging recording and household photos of the March 2022 Susenas sample households will be recorded using the Wilkerstat application.

2. With the change in the mechanism for disbursing the Social Assistance for Basic Foods from non-cash to cash through the Post Office and to capture other social assistance information that has not been included in the March 2022 Susenas questionnaire, the March 2022 Susenas Susenas will be added.

3.
