Summary: | Disaggregation use to separate and classify the data based on certain characteristics or on administrative level. Disaggregated data is very important because some indicators not measured on all characteristics. Detailed disaggregation for development indicators is important to ensure that everyone benefits from development and support better development-related policymaking. This paper aims to explore different methods to disaggregate national employment-to-population ratio indicator to province- and city-level. Numerical approach applied to overcome the problem of disaggregation unavailability by constructing several spatial weight matrices based on the neighbourhood, Euclidean distance and correlation. These methods can potentially be used and further developed to disaggregate development indicators into lower spatial level even by several demographic characteristics. |
