Initial Data Collection for Socio-Economic Registration (REGSOSEK)

October 10, 2022 | BPS Activities

On October 15 s.d. November 14, 2022, the government will carry out initial data collection for the 2022 socio-economic registration (Regsosek). This activity is based on the reform of the social protection program which is directed at improving the database. In the future, regsosek will become a system and database for the entire population consisting of profiles, social conditions, economy, and welfare levels that are linked to population master data and other databases up to the village/kelurahan level.

In contrast to data collection on social protection programs that had previously existed, such as the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) which covered about 40% of families with the lowest economic level and the BKKBN Family Data Collection (PK) which covered 80% of families, Regsosek would cover all (100%) family as an integrated social protection database to meet all the needs of ministries/agencies implementing social protection and community empowerment. Ministries/Institutions that will use include the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri), Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu), Ministry of Communication and Information (Kominfo), Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration (Kemendes PDTT), and various other Ministries. This database is intended to end duplication of social protection.

This Regsosek activity will involve 400 thousand field officers who will interview door to door all families in Indonesia. The officer will also do geotagging and/or take photos of the building where the family lives. Prior to conducting interviews, these officers were specially trained with standardized governance.
