PROCEDURES OF civil registration

• The heads of the villages have to
• register all members in every household using
  household form,
• register vital events, i.e. births, deaths and
  mobility of the population, and
• issue identity cards for the adults.
• Births and deaths are registered by place of
  occurrence and place of residence.
• Marriage is usually recorded at the place of
  residence.

5
Assessment of the civil registration system

• Assessment of the civil registration was done
  through a KAP survey carried out by the
  BPS-Statistics Indonesia in 1977, covering a
  sample of 2,831 households in Java, North
  Sumatra, South Kalimantan, South Sulawesi, Bali
  and East Nusa Tenggara.
• The results of the survey reveal low coverage of
  the existing registration (60-70 percent for
  births and deaths).
• Obstacles of CRVS found from the survey
• Weakness in the organization
• Lack of infrastructures
• Lack of awareness in reporting vital events

USES OF registration RECORDS

• Birth records provide legal proof of identity and
  civil status, nationality etc.

  claims to inheritance of property, to insurance
  on deceased persons etc.

  birth certificate.
• Registration records for goverment
• Birth records used for many purposes such as for
  basic needs in public health programs, i.e

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING AND MONITORING

• Civil registration forms produced from village
  offices copies together with the summary tables
  showing the total number of population of the
  village classified by nationality and number of
  births, deaths and migration, are sent to
  Sub-Districts offices.
• Same tables are made for each level of
  administrative units (Sub-District, District and
  Province) and summary tables for Indonesia are
  made by Ministry of Interior.
• Tables must conform with UN recommendations.
• Monitoring of reporting process conducted in each
  administration unit level.

9
PROCEDURES FOR STATISTICAL PROCESSING

• The outputs of this processing are simple tables
  showing the total population at the beginning of
  the month, births, deaths and movements occured
  during the month.
• The population at the end of the month is
  obtained by applying a demographic balancing
  equation.
• The processing of the vital registration carried
  out by BPS-Statistcs Indonesia at district level.

10
PUBLICATION AND DISSEMINATION

• Based on the results of civil registration,
  BPS-Statistics Indonesia regularly published
  "Penduduk Jawa-Madura" ("Population of
  Java-Madura") and "Penduduk Luar Jawa"
  ("Population Outside of Java") containing total
  population by district, sex, citizenship and age
  (distinction between children and adult only).
• Vital statistics collected by the BPS-Statistics
  Indonesia are presented to the users in the form
  of publications.

11
Assessment of the VITAL STATISTICS system

• Evaluation was made by comparing the vital rates
  obtained from the registration system and that
  estimated by the applications of indirect
  techniques (Last Live Birth, Own Children and
  Palmore methods for estimating birth rate, and
  Brass type method for estimating Infant
  Mortality).
• Findings indicate vital rates of some regions in
  Java are about 50 percent lower than the rates
  obtained through indirect estimates.

12
USES OF the VITAL STATISTICS

• The main consumers of vital statistics are
  government institutions such as the Ministry of
  Health and National Planning Board (BAPPENAS) for
  their planning.
