E-JURNAL Poverty In Indonesia: Critical Review
This article critically review the information regarding poverty issues
in Indonesia, by unravelling the causes and impacts of poverty and its
aggregates comprising rural poverty, women and poverty, as well as
other social indicators. This review article based on data provided in
secondary resources shows that Asian Financial crisis in 2008 was
regarded as the greatest intrusion of economic stability, rendering
more adverse poverty incidences in Indonesia. Although Indonesia
could slowly recover from the crisis, poverty remains problematic for
certain groups and women in some particular areas especially rural
areas. Moreover, despite several policies have been stipulated to deal
with poverty such as Rural Development Program and Social Safety Net,
some poverty elements related to social capital such as education,
employment and health need to be improved. Thus, Indonesian
government should pay more attention to improve the quality of the
provisions and policies, assuring the beneficial contribution to
Indonesian citizens’ welfare.
