An update of Indonesian household-level income and consumption patterns as an input to the iPETS model

This paper describes an updated analysis of Indonesian household data, based on the 2013 SUSENAS National Social Economic Survey. This analysis further classified households by education level, in addition to previously analyzed demographic characteristics, and also differentiated results by income deciles and access to electricity. Results indicated that higher incomes and expenditures were associated with higher levels of education, lower household sizes, residence in urban areas, and access to electricity.

A comparison between 2002 and 2013 SUSENAS data showed that the share of expenditures on food decreased during this time, while the share spent on other goods and services and particularly on transportation increased, consistent with changes commonly observed in developing countries.
