Indonesia, the largest country in Southeast Asia, has as its
national motto ""Unity in Diversity."" In 2010, Indonesia stood as
the world's fourth most populous country after China, India and the
United States, with 237.6 million people. This archipelagic country
contributed 3.5 per cent to the world's population in the same
year. The country's demographic and political transitions have
resulted in an emerging need to better understand the ethnic
composition of Indonesia. This book aims to contribute to that
need. It is a demographic study on ethnicity, mostly relying on the
tabulation provided by the BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik;
Statistics-Indonesia) based on the complete data set of the 2010
population census. The information on ethnicity was collected for
236,728,379 individuals, a huge data set.The book has four
objectives: To produce a new comprehensive classification of ethnic
groups to better capture the rich diversity of ethnicity in
Indonesia; to report on the ethnic composition in Indonesia and in
each of the thirty three provinces using the new classification; to
evaluate the dynamics of the fifteen largest ethnic groups in
Indonesia during 2000-2010; and to examine the religions and
languages of each of the fifteen largest ethnic groups.
