It’s natural for girls to gather in a group, particularly with their own peers. When they grow up and become a woman, their peer groups also grow into a social group. In Indonesia, there is a regular social gathering consists of women only, famously known as “arisan”. This group has regular members and usually holds a regular meeting, with drawing the cash-money as their main agenda of the meeting. These days, “arisan” has become a lifestyle among women. Therefore, regarding to this matter, recently Jakpat has conducted a survey in order to see the activity, habit, and preferences of Indonesian women towards “arisan”. This survey involved 941 female respondents from across Indonesia. For the further notes, Jakpat’s respondents in this survey are Indonesian smart-phone users, with a range of age from 23 to 45 year-old.

This survey report is divided into six chapters. The first chapter consists of general findings we compile from the survey. First of all, we find that less than half of our respondents (46.87%) are joining in female “arisan” group. Hence, more than half of them (62.81%) join in only 1 group, while some other (32.88%) join in about 2 to 3 groups.
