Passage 2
DATA MATTERS FOR DEVELOPMENT, DEMOCRATION
Line 1 Data drives everything. It's being produced at astronomical speed. We
create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data daily — images, video, tweets and GPS
signals. Since the smartphone revolution, 90 percent of data today has been
created in the last two years.
a Traditional ways of gathering data is slowing us down. Surveys are
expensive and focus groups don’t capture enough information we need for a
population as vast and diverse as Indonesia’s. Our phones, however, can order an
jek (motorcycle taxi), a meal and even a massage within 15 minutes — and they
can deliver real-time data about people's daily experiences, Indonesia’s poorest

Passage 3
HOW HAPPY ARE INDONESIANS, REALLY?
Line 1 For the first time in history, BPS-Statistics Indonesia issued a survey
that measured the level of happiness among Indonesians. The timing of the
survey, which was conducted in 2013, could not have come at a worse
time, as unemployment was high and poverty soared following the
subsidized fuel price hike. Nonetheless, the outcome was somewhat
surprising; Indonesians, in general, are indeed ‘happy’, according to BPS.
Indonesia scored 65.11 percent on a scale of 100 on BPS' ‘Happiness
Index’, which measures happiness in relation to the growing level of equality
in the country.
10 The index score had been divided into four groups, which ranged
from unhappy (0-25 percent), not so happy (25-50 percent), happy (50-75
percent) and very happy (more than 75 percent), with Indonesia falling under
the third category.
Five components were taken into consideration income; work status;
15 assets; harmony in the family; security and environment. Additionally, the
issues of education and income worried Indonesians the most, evidenced by
lower scores, however, in terms of happy families, the scores were on the
higher end of the scale.
The survey had been developed to complement previous data
20 regarding development. "The happiness index is important because the level
of happiness cannot be strictly gauged based on the performance of the
economy,
The economy grew by 5.78 percent in 2013, lower than 6.23 percent
recorded in 2012 and 6.5 percent in 2011, BPS data revealed. According to
25 BPS, the number of poor people in September 2013 rose to 11.47 percent, ot
28.5 million from 11.37 percent, or 28.07 million. While the richest were
getting rich quicker than the poorest of the poor, this did not necessarily
guarantee the happiness of the wealthier group,
