Welfare Statistics of Sumatera Barat Province 2016

The goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a global agenda with the spirit that the development undertaken takes into account the continuity of generations and maintains the balance of nature. The expected economic development within the framework of SDGs is in line with the national development objective of providing prosperity for all Indonesians. In order to achieve the target of SDGs as well as the national development goals targeted in the RPJMN and Nawacita, credible and updated data support is required. Public welfare statistics publication is a manifestation of the responsibility of BPS as an institution in charge of providing basic statistical data as inputs in measuring the target of SDGs and national development. The statistics used to present the welfare of the people come from the results of the National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) which is a household-based survey. BPS conducts annual Susenas annually in March and September. The data presented in this publication is the result of Susenas conducted in Sumatera Barat Province in March 2016 of 1,020 sample households. Susenas collects data on population, education, health, fertility and family planning, housing, information and communication technologies, crime, travel, and social protection. These data are presented at the national and provincial levels so as to enable comparison between regions. This publication is expected to meet the need for socioeconomic data for both planning and development evaluation.
