Sample details

SUSENAS is a nationally representative, ongoing household survey conducted by Statistics Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS) that aims to monitor the social and economic conditions of the Indonesian population. As of 2025, SUSENAS includes data from approximately 345,000 households across all 38 provinces and 514 districts/cities in Indonesia. Participants were recruited through systematic sampling from census blocks, stratified by factors such as the education level of the household head, with the first wave of data collection beginning in 1963. Participants are followed up twice a year, with data collection continuing indefinitely as part of Indonesia’s national statistical system.
