The 2020 Indonesian census was the 7th census in Indonesia. It was held in September 2020 by Statistics Indonesia. The resident Indonesia population was projected to be 269.6 million,[1] a 13.4% increase from the 2010 census.

Introduction[]

As required by the Indonesian Constitution and recommendation of United Nations, Indonesian census has been conducted since 1961, and from 1980, the census has been held every 10 years, when the year ends in "0". The 2020 census was the 7th census in Indonesia.

Technology[]

It is planned that the 7th census will be carried out using digital equipment,[2] no longer relying on paper. Head of BPS, Kecuk Suhariyanto said that the digital equipment in question included smartphone and web applications. The hope is that the equipment will help field enumerators who collect data, also make it easier for citizens who want to enter their own data.

In addition to smartphone applications, it is also developing web applications. The difference is, this application is intended directly to residents, so they can fill their own data without going through a field enumerator.

Projection[]

The Statistics Indonesia in 2018 has released the official projection of Indonesia's population 2015–2045,[3] which are based on previous census in 2010 and the 2015 Indonesian population survey between censuses (SUPAS). The projection was calculated using component method and also take into consideration births, deaths, and net migration.

In 2020, the population of Indonesia is projected to be 269,603,400 and the dependency ratio will be reach on 45.40, the lowest dependency ratio in Indonesian history.
