The DIY regional government has lodged a protest with the Central\nStatistics Agency (BPS) regarding the data on welfare grouping, or\ndeciles, which has undergone significant changes. The decile grouping\nrefers to the National Socio-Economic Single Data (DTSEN). Through this\nsystem, Indonesian citizens are grouped into 10 categories or deciles.\nEach decile covers approximately 10 percent of the population, with\ndecile 1 being the group with the lowest level of welfare and decile 10\nbeing the group with the highest level of welfare. The determination of\ndeciles does not only consider family income. A number of other\nindicators are also taken into account, ranging from housing conditions,\neducation, employment of family members, electricity usage, to asset\nownership.<\/p>\n
DIY Regional Secretary Ni Made Dwipanti Indrayanti revealed that many\nresidents have protested because their decile status changed from low to\nhigh. According to her, this makes the poverty rate appear to have\ndecreased. \u201cMany have protested about the deciles. I have also protested\nto Bu Endang about this. How could it be like that? Is it perhaps to\nreduce the burden, so everything was raised, so to speak,\u201d Made said\nwhen met at the Kepatihan complex, Yogyakarta City, on Wednesday\n(19\/8\/2026). \u201cThe deciles that are our responsibility now are deciles 1\nto 5, meaning those below the poverty line. Those in deciles 6 to 10 are\nconsidered able to survive and be independent,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Made stated that she has attempted to seek clarification on this\nmatter from the Acting Head of BPS DIY, Endang Tri Wahyuningsih. \u201cSo\nthis is what I asked for clarification about with Bu Endang, the Acting\nHead of BPS. Why is it like this, what is the basis? We have not had the\nchance to meet yet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Head of the DIY Social Affairs Agency, Suyarno, said\nthe changes in decile data were due to the many indicators used that do\nnot correspond to the actual conditions of the community. \u201cThe authority\nto determine deciles lies with the central BPS. The DTSEN data, which is\na combination of several data sources with different indicators,\ncertainly requires adjustments,\u201d Suyarno said when contacted on Thursday\n(20\/8). \u201cCurrently, in addition to DTKS, Regsoseg, and P3KE data, there\nis also BKKBN data and the results of the economic census that have an\nimpact on decile changes that do not match real conditions in the field.\nFor example, there are those whose decile rose because it was adjusted\nwith BKKBN data,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Suyarno said residents who find their decile status has changed and\ndoes not match reality can submit a request for correction. The method\nis to visit the SIKS-NG (Next Generation Social Welfare Information\nSystem) operator in each village. \u201cIt is still very possible to submit a\ndecile change. Some residents have already submitted changes to their\ndecile. They simply report and bring their population identity card,\u201d he\nsaid. \u201cThey can also submit a change through the cek bansos application,\nwhich can be done independently through this mechanism. It can be\ndownloaded from the Play Store. We cannot confirm the deadline because\nthe authority lies with the central BPS,\u201d Suyarno added.<\/p>\n
When asked for confirmation separately, BPS DIY stated that it would\nhold a press conference with the Acting Head of BPS DIY at a time yet to\nbe determined.<\/p>\n
On Thursday (20\/8) afternoon, the DIY regional government and BPS DIY\nmet behind closed doors at the office of the DIY Regional Secretary,\nKepatihan Complex, Yogyakarta City. Regional Secretary Ni Made Dwi Panti\nIndrayanti said the meeting discussed the determination of deciles,\nwhich she said is the authority of the central government. As a data\nuser, according to Made, the DIY regional government needs to understand\nthe criteria and basis for the grouping so that the data used in poverty\nhandling can be fully understood and aligned with the conditions of the\ncommunity in the region. \u201cThe data comes from the central government,\nnot something we determine. What we need to discuss is the criteria and\nhow far they go. How they compile and classify it is what we need to ask\nBPS,\u201d Made explained through a written statement received by detikJogja\non Thursday (20\/8) evening.<\/p>\n
Made said the DIY regional government actually also has data\ndeveloped through collaboration with district and city governments. This\ndata is integrated in the One Poverty Data system and provides a\ndetailed picture of community conditions. \u201cSo actually with that one\ndata system, we can monitor. It is already very detailed in terms of\nwhat category of poverty, what assistance they receive, and what type.\nIt is all visible there,\u201d she said. According to Made, the meeting was\nalso aimed at aligning, not comparing, the data held by the regional\ngovernment with the central government\u2019s data. \u201cWe do not intend to\ncompare data. But to align data,\u201d Made stressed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Acting Head of BPS DIY, Endang Tri Wahyuningsih,\nexplained that DTSEN is a database that integrates social and economic\ninformation to support more targeted government policies. Endang said\nDTSEN was built through the integration of various data sources such as\nRegsosek, DTKS, and P3KE, enriched with data from PLN, BPJS Kesehatan,\nand others. It is then matched with population administration data. In\nDTSEN, family data is collected based on relative welfare levels, then\nranked and divided into 10 groups called deciles. Decile 1 covers 10\npercent of families with the lowest relative welfare level, while Decile\n10 represents 10 percent of families with the highest relative welfare\nlevel. \u201cThe determination of decile position considers 41 input\nvariables grouped into Family Identity information, Housing information\n(condition and quality of dwelling), Asset Ownership, and Family Member\ninformation (education, employment, income, disability status),\u201d she\nsaid.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/diy-regional-government-lodges-protest-with-bps-over-decile-data-1787273429", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
