BPS Jambi Province released the result of Long Form SP2020

The 2020 Population Census (SP2020) is Indonesia's effort towards one population data. The series of SP2020 activities were carried out in two stages. The first stage is population data collection using the short form and other instruments that have been implemented in 2020. The next stage is in the form of a sample census as a continuation of the population census using a questionnaire containing more and more complex questions or known as the SP2020 Long Form Data Collection. The Long Form SP2020 which will be implemented in 2022, is a form of support from the Central Statistics Agency in the National Priority Program (PN) 3, namely Improving Quality and Competitive Human Resources. The Big Mission of the Long Form SP2020 includes 1) Benchmark of Indonesian population indicators; 2) A Portrait of Indonesian Demographics after going through the 2nd wave of the COVID-19 Pandemic; 3) Evaluation of development achievements in the population sector in the SDGs and RPJMN; and 4) Basis for determining development policies towards Golden Indonesia 2045.
