The National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) is important because it is a source of socio-economic data that is used for many purposes. Planning and evaluation of national development programs, through Ministry / Agency policies, rely on information from the Susenas results. Three of the four national development targets, namely poverty, Gini ratio, and Human Development Index (HDI) use Susenas data. To fulfill the evaluation of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (TPB) indicators, the RPJMN / D and Nawacita indicators are also supported by Susenas results data. Regarding the provision of TPB indicators, as many as 55 of the 136 Indonesian TPB indicators produced by BPS came from Susenas. There are many more uses of Susenas data where BPS is involved in the team, including the preparation of the Youth Development Index, the Cultural Development Index, the Compilation of the SDGs Voluntary National Report, the Mental Revolution Achievement Index, the Child Protection Index, the Child Protection Index, and the Children Special Protection Index. .
