again: POVERTY (by Rakhmani, S.Sos. M.Si)

in 2011 recorded 39 million more poor people in Indonesia, is still quite large when compared with the population reaching 250 million more. still high level of poverty, while not a few budgets have been issued to deal with it, still it does not decrease more in the range of 1.5 percent. The main reason of course there are many policies, programs and activities were not well targeted. This course gives an indication of erroneous planning of poverty reduction are made. The error stems from the use of information that is not valid and accurate. preparation of plans limited to the use of the figures behind the desk without looking at the substance of poverty itself. how to understand poverty if no review is multi-disciplinary approach, economic, social, cultural, and even defense. poverty is not only economic problems, poverty occurs because terhimpitnya society in which the structure does not give the poor flexibility to utilize the potential of self and nature in which they live. poverty consciously or unconsciously has been designed, created and maintained by the parties who want poverty persists as a form of exploitation of a new style of slavery in today's modern era. whereas in the religious philosophy of the poor themselves immersed belief that every human being is basically the same, was born with nothing and returned to the bosom of his god, no nothing. that is, work hard at what makes humans different in the end, so that poverty is not limited to a destiny that must be mourned, but there is poverty because of inequalities mastery of assets and access to resources as a result of unjust structures that are running. It could be a regulatory structure policies that do not pro-poor but more pro rulers and businessmen, not the people but the pro market and pro-free market capitalists. Another thing, of course, the policy of uneven development, the distinction between town and country priorities, between center and periphery, and so on. what impact these injustices, poverty is the estuary of the excess negative imbalance of development, after-effects is the development of social problems (beggars, vagrants, prostitution, child exploitation, human trafficking, criminality, and so on), all of which ultimately cause problems in a state of instability, disruption of national security, adverse impact "chaos" caused riots that occurred that caused the outbreak of unity as a nation.
