Population Projections in Lhokseumawe Municipality 2020-2035 from 2020 Population Census Results

The government has established the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2005-2025 and the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024, and is currently preparing the RPJPN 2025-2045 and RPJMN 2025-2029. These planning documents guide the government in implementing national development. Development plans must be equipped with the latest population data and information as well as future forecasts as a basis for evaluating ongoing development and determining future development policies. In addition to population size, information on demographic parameters such as population age structure, birth rate, death rate, and life expectancy at birth is very supportive for accurate development planning. This information can be calculated through population projections.
