Socio-Economic Registration Data collection has been mandated to BPS-Statistics to be carried out in the range of October-November 2022. Regsosek is a data collection of the entire population which includes profiles and all socio-economic conditions ranging from demographic conditions, housing, the condition of a person's disability, asset ownership to geospatial information. The results of the regsosek will present the welfare rank of each resident in order to increase the accuracy of targeting government programs.
As an initial preparation, BPS-Statistics of Sumatera Utara Province held a Regional Coordination Meeting (Rakorda) for the Initial Data Collection for Socio-Economic Registration (Regsosek) 2022 at the Grand City Hall Hotel Medan on 12-13 September 2022.
