Indonesian Susenas, 2006: Mortality

The Indonesia Social and Economic Survey (Susenas) is a nationwide survey conducted to collect information on social and economics indices. It serves as a main source of monitoring social and economic progress in society. Susenas has been conducted on an annual basis since 1963. Since 1992, in addition to a basic social and economic questionnaire (core), a more focused questionnaire was introduced (module). The core questionnaire covers basic information about household and individual characteristics including health, death, education/literacy, employment, fertility and family planning, housing, and household expenditure. This questionnaire is asked annually with only slight modifications over the years. Susenas 2006 core covered 277,202 households and was designed to be representative up to district/municipality levels. The module is intended to gather more detailed information on specific topics, especially on data that changes less frequently than yearly. There are three modules of Susenas and each module is added in a three-year cycle. In 2006, the module's topic was social culture and education, and covered 68,670 households. Both core questionnaire (Susenas Core) and module questionnaires (Susenas Module) contain data on household and individual characteristics. In the archive, the data are stored in six files. They are: Household characteristics from Core questionnaires (Study ID 01149) Individual characteristics from Core questionnaires (Study ID 01150) Mortality data from Core questionnaires (Study ID 01148) Individual Disability data from Module questionnaires (Study ID 01151) Social Culture and Education data from Module questionnaires (Study ID 01194) Welfare and Social Capital Development data from Module questionnaires (Study ID 01152) This file (Study ID 01148) contains information on cases of death in the household. The data is taken from Block IV.B of the core household questionnaire (VSEN2006.K form). Variables include the list number of deceased members of the household, year that death occurred, age, sex and whether the death was related to traffic accidents or pregnancy/giving birth.
