Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2014 The Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) is\npreparing a major deployment of human resources to support the\nimplementation of the 2026 Economic Census (SE2026), including\nmobilising central office staff and students from the Statistical\nScience College (STIS).<\/p>\n
BPS Secretary-General Zulkipli stated that SE2026 represents the most\nchallenging census as it directly targets business operators as\nrespondents with national coverage.<\/p>\n
He noted that the most complex data collection challenges occur in\nurban areas with dense and diverse business characteristics,\nparticularly in Jakarta. \u201cJakarta alone, with its very tall buildings\nand numerous business centres, will be a significant undertaking if only\nhandled by a small number of census officers,\u201d Zulkipli said during\nSE2026 socialisation event in Jakarta on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
To address these challenges, BPS will deploy nearly all its internal\ncomponents in field data collection activities. Zulkipli exemplified BPS\ncentral office staff, stating they will be mobilised in large numbers to\nsupport census implementation in Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\u201cCentral office staff\u2014perhaps more than 50 per cent, even up to 75\nper cent\u2014will be deployed to assist data collection in Central Jakarta,\u201d\nhe explained.<\/p>\n
Beyond BPS staff, the national statistical agency will also involve\nSTIS students as part of its strategy to strengthen data collection\nresources. He noted that STIS students will particularly assist in data\ncollection in urban areas with high business activity levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll Statistical Science College students will be deployed to help,\nespecially in complex areas such as Jakarta,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
BPS will also coordinate cross-regional support, whereby regions with\ngreater officer capacity will assist other areas requiring data\ncollection reinforcement. This approach ensures all economic activities\nare comprehensively and consistently documented according to census\nmethodology.<\/p>\n
The 2026 Economic Census is scheduled to occur in two data collection\nphases: 1\u201330 May 2026 through Computer Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI)\nand 16 May\u201331 July 2026 through Computer Assisted Personal Interview\n(CAPI).<\/p>\n
Data collection will cover all economic activities across 38\nprovinces and 514 regencies\/cities, excluding agriculture, government\nadministration, and household activities for self-consumption.<\/p>\n
Through strengthened human resources and cross-regional coordination,\nBPS aims to ensure SE2026 data quality accurately reflects the national\neconomic structure as a foundation for formulating development\npolicies.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/bps-prepares-major-deployment-of-officers-for-2026-economic-census-1772013021", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
