MEMAHAMI KEMISKINAN DAN STRATEGI PENANGGULANGANNYA

Abstract

This study observes the chronic and intricate problems of poverty, which require an adequate analysis accommodating every single component of the problems. Proper strategic and sustainable measures are also required to solve the problems. Some variables used for analysis result a set of strategies and policies to eradicate poverty. Most of the government programs for poverty eradication have not been very successful due to deviation in implementation from their plans. As many other countries such as the United States have endeavored with some differences in their approach and emphasis, Indonesia has also conducted a number of efforts. Poverty alleviation programs in Indonesia give more emphasis on economic aspects than those of social, cultural, legal and even religious ones. This paradigmatic blunder which leads to analytical mistakes and does not include significant variables generates bias estimates and unexpected results. This study examines further the strategies of poverty eradication and their adequate components for better implementation.
