This research aims to find out how local government policies reduce poverty in Baringin Village, Lubuk Kilangan District, West Sumatra. Includes policy strategies, policy steps, and follow-up Local government policies and village community development, as well as factors that influence local government policies not being optimal in reducing poverty in Baringin District, include budget factors, community factors, resource factors, community factors, and apparatus attitudes. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive. In collecting data, field research was carried out using observation techniques with the aim of directly knowing the data needed. Then carry out interview techniques and conduct library research by searching for documents related to local government policy issues related to reducing poverty in Baringin Village. The results of this research show that the local government's policy in reducing poverty in Baringin Subdistrict is quite good. This can be seen from the policy programs implemented by the subdistrict government, which can be directly felt by the community. However, in the implementation of local government policies to reduce poverty, there are of course obstacles or factors such as budget, lack of communication, less creative human resources, and less professional attitudes of officials.

A report of residents living in extreme poverty level in Banyumas Regency required local government’s response through Extreme Poverty Reduction Program. Such poverty alleviation program consequently necessitated swift provision from the regional budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah/APBD). On the other hand, no budget had been allocated for the program during the budget year and the APBD was limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the responses of regional budget policy to the extreme poverty issue based on online news articles related to the subject. The study was conducted using content analysis methods and systematic literature reviews. The results show that the Banyumas government's response in addressing extreme poverty issue is relatively satisfactory. The local government responded with a regional budget policy by funding the program through Unexpected Expenditure (Belanja Tidak Terduga/BTT) budget item. Part of APBD, BTT was allocated as non-cash extreme poverty alleviation expenditure, while cash social assistance was to be sought to from the provincial and central government. Local governments do not have adequate budgetary capacity to independently finance extreme poverty alleviation programs and therefore require major support from the central and/or provincial government. A synergy between local, provincial and central governments is thus needed to better manage regional extreme poverty alleviation initiatives.

Aceh and Bengkulu are included in the top list of the poorest regions of Sumatra, in fact, are in the top ten in Indonesia. Aceh with a large budget both from APBA, special autonomy funds and oil and gas revenue sharing funds, but poverty is still a fetter for the people of Aceh. It is not wrong if many question the government policies that are always echoed to alleviate poverty. This paper wants to describe in detail the government policies in alleviating poverty, it is right on target or it still dwells on the poverty alleviation discourse, and programs that are proclaimed are only limited to ideals that are not in accordance with the reality and needs of society.

Aim of the study: Nigeria has a high incidence of multidimensional poverty and educational inequality. The government has implemented several policies to address these challenges, but the results have been mixed. Given this, the study assesses a comprehensive analysis of Nigeria's government's policy intervention regarding multidimensional poverty and educational inequality based on the country's current situation, policy initiatives, effectiveness, and the way forward. Design/Methodology: The study employed the interpretivism philosophy, and a qualitative approach was adopted in data collection and analysis. Secondary data were sourced from the current reports of the World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, UNESCO, and NBS for a more detailed and accurate analysis. Findings: The findings of the study reveal that addressing multidimensional poverty and educational inequality is a complex and long-term process that requires sustainable efforts through investing in rural development, as 80% of all multidimensionally poor people live in rural areas. Practical Implications: The research was able to bring to light the need for governments to invest massively in formal and informal education, industrialisation, proper planning and policies, inter-ministerial collaboration, database unification, and timely population census. Originality/value: This empirical study will provide more in-depth knowledge of SDGs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 through practical implementation for Nigerian governments at all levels and other stakeholders. The study distinguished itself from prior similar investigations. To summarise, this empirical study will provide more knowledge through real-world application, primarily for addressing multidimensional poverty and educational inequality in Nigeria. Keywords: Government policy interventions, Multidimensional poverty, educational inequality, intersectionality Theory, Gender inequality Paper Type: Review Article

This paper aims to analyze the implications of decentralization policies that are linked to poverty reduction in Indonesia. The focus of the study is the decentralization policy as regulated in Law No. 22/1999, which was amended twice through Law No. 32/2004 and Law No. 23/ 2014 concerning local government. In addition, it also discussed Law No. 25/1999 concerning financial relations in the central-regional government. Using qualitative methods with a policy/program analysis approach and secondary data, this study found that decentralization policies do not link directly to poverty reduction. Out of 34 provincial regions, only 8 provincial regions have achieved a human development index (HDI) above the national average, while having a poverty rate below the national average. In contrast, there are 13 provincial regions that reached HDI below the national average and at the same time have poverty levels above the national average. Based on these findings, this study recommends, first, that local governments evaluate and direct various programs that lead to HDI improvement and poverty reduction. Second, that they synchronize poverty reduction programs in the regions with the same programs from the central government and international programs in the regions.

This study aims to analyze the design of extreme poverty reduction policies in West Lombok District. The design of the policy refers to the substance/content of the policies developed for the reduction/prevention of extreme poverty used by the regions. A case study research approach is used to explore the design of extreme poverty alleviation policies. The West Lombok Regency government's policy on poverty alleviation contains various local government programs synergized in accelerating the acceleration of extreme poverty reduction. In addition, it is in the form of efforts to assist the poor for a movement that is actualized in bridging aid recipients to get out of poverty immediately. The construction of extreme poverty reduction policies in West Lombok Regency adopts the concept of an innovation hub to accelerate cross-government programs that target basic services (health and education) in interventions for individual/family change as well as increasing the business capacity of community groups.

AbstractThis study comparatively investigates the impacts of fiscal and monetary policies on poverty in Nigeria from 1986 to 2018. Using the Ordinary Least Square and Standardized or Beta Coefficient approach, we found that the Nigerian political system plays a vital role on a large number of its citizens living in extreme poverty. Other factors identified as the likely causes of poverty are insurgencies, terrorism, and low productivity among others. Also, monetary policy is more important in alleviating poverty than the fiscal policy which favored the monetary school arguments. Specifically, monetary measures like exchange rate and interest rate are more significant in alleviating poverty far more than inflation rate while fiscal measures proxy with government recurrent expenditure plays a more vital role in alleviating poverty in Nigeria than others like government capital expenditure and government recurrent expenditure. The study recommended that in the case of monetary measures, there is a need for Government through the Central Bank of Nigeria, to shift their attention towards key monetary policy measures like interest rate and exchange rate compare to other monetary measures.

Eliminating extreme poverty is the mandate of the Indonesian constitution. This study's methodology is qualitative, specializing in designing poverty eradication policy analysis as an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Indonesia's extreme poverty condition will be at 1.74% in 2023. The government has created a program to eliminate extreme poverty, which can meet needs from the health aspect in the form of a Healthy Indonesia card, the food aspect in the form of rice for low-income families, and the education aspect in the form of an intelligent Indonesia card. Of these three aspects, there needs to be an aspect so that low-income families continue to get income to meet their living needs and avoid falling into extreme poverty with an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the form of social entrepreneurship. According to the findings of this study, the government may use a Penta-helix partnership model with other stakeholders to tackle the issue of eradicating poverty by 2024 and meet the target of 0%-1% severe poverty elimination.

This study contends that poverty is a global phenomenon and no nation is immune to the scourge it is capable of causing especially when determined and clear policy measures are not put in place to check the menace. The objectives that interrogates the nerves of this discourse is to assess the rate of poverty in Nigeria as well as examine the role of government in poverty eradication. Also, to identify the various initiatives that governments in Nigeria have put in place since the pre; through and the post Structural Adjustment Programme era of the nation. Findings from the study reveals that attitudinal response and approach of both the government and the governed is appalling. Also, there exist a sharp disconnect between the government and the governed which has resulted into policy formulations that fail to meet the yearning, demand and desire of the people. Meanwhile, it was established that political and policy instability, poor targeting mechanism and inadequate coordination among the existing three tiers of government have done harm to programme implementation. The paper makes contribution by providing information and it adopt secondary source of data gathering. It concludes by recommending strengthened relationship/ communication between the governments and the governed to ensure proper and adequate policies that will meet their targets are made as well as enforcement of initiatives of governments directed at reducing poverty.

Introduction: Poverty is an undesirable socio-economic phenomenon that endangers the political stability, social solidarity, and mental health of the different sections of society. The literature on poverty in recent years has not been limited to income poverty, but also to other aspects such as health, education, and living standards. By identifying patterns of poverty, instead of prejudging the suitable economic and social policies to combat poverty, we can explain the appropriate and effective policy on poverty at the community level in accordance with the nature of these patterns. Method: In the present study, with a multidimensional approach to poverty (including educational poverty, housing poverty, food poverty, health, and income poverty), the vulnerability of government-supported households in Iran were investigated. For this purpose, the expenditure information of government-supported households in 2017 was the basis of the study. Findings: The results showed that nearly 47% of the households surveyed are below the food poverty line. In terms of depth and quality of dominance of different dimensions of poverty among the studied households, housing poverty has the largest poverty gap, followed by education poverty with a poverty gap of nearly 40%. In summary, the poverty gap in income and health dimensions in this study is very low compared to the mentioned dimensions. In general, it was found that government-sponsored households, in addition to income poverty, also suffer from poor health, housing, education, and food poverty. Discussion: Based on the findings, it is suggested that policy makers adopt and formulate policy-support tools in which the various dimensions of poverty are considered in the form of a comprehensive system.

There is considerable public interest across the UK in whether distinctive economic and social policies will emerge from the Scottish National Party's election victory in 2007. The SNP manifesto did not have very much to say about poverty and inequality, but early in 2008 the new Government published a discussion paper, Tackling Poverty, Inequality and Deprivation in Scotland (TPID), laying the basis for a national policy framework due at the end of 2008. At a time when there are tentative signs of poverty moving up the political agenda across Britain, TPID offers the first indication of how the SNP Government views the problem and what it might do to make a difference.

AbstractIn 2014, the Indonesian government issued Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, a form of state recognition of villages, specifically in clarifying village authority and functions and strengthening the position of towns and village communities as development targets. One of the objectives of this Village Fund policy is to reduce the rural poverty level in Indonesia. This policy first appeared in the Jokowi-JK era as the central government’s effort in poverty alleviation programs and reducing inequality between rural and urban poverty. In the last nine years, rural poverty has always been higher than urban poverty. This study uses panel data from 514 districts/cities in Indonesia from 2010 to 2018. The results show that in 2015-2018, the Village Fund Policy impacted rural poverty levels using the fixed-effect estimation method. In terms of magnitude, it may signal the inefficiency of the policy. On the other hand, in contrast to Village Fund (DD – Dana Desa), another source of village revenues such as Financial Assistance (BK – Bantuan Keuangan), the transfer fund from district/city governments and provincial government, have a more significant effect on rural poverty.

Efforts to reduce poverty must have an impact that can reach the various problems caused by poverty. This research aims to analyze social policies related to poverty alleviation and cross-sectoral participation in overcoming stunting problems that occur in Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative-exploratory research method to examine the Government's Social Policy in overcoming poverty and its impact on stunting which involves cross-sector participation in its implementation. Then the data is collected from interviews, field observations, and applicable literature, then to analyze the results using Nvivo 12 Pro. The location of this research uses a regional case study in Indonesia, namely the Bantaeng Regency area. The results of this study show that the contribution of government social policies in overcoming poverty has a very positive impact on reducing the number of stunting that occurs in Bantaeng Regency. Several programs issued by the government focus on increasing consumption and fulfilling community nutrition by assisting with food. Then cross-sectoral participation in handling stunting in Bantaeng Regency has also been going well, because it not only involves the local government but also involves the military. However, this study found that there was a lack of involvement of the private sector in efforts to help the government deal with the problem of stunting. So that this is a weakness in handling stunting, therefore in handling stunting based on government programs there needs to be a binding regulation to involve the private sector.

Fiscal policy is an inseparable part of macroeconomic policy both in the short and long term. Fiscal policy is set to achieve economic growth. The policy of opening faucets and stimulating the investment climate is expected to be able to create job opportunities which in turn increase income, thereby reducing poverty Expansive policy also means that government spending aims at infrastructure development and labor-intensive projects that will reduce unemployment and poverty in Maluku Although government capital expenditures continue to increase, economic growth in several districts / cities has not shown the same level of economic growth. This study measures two variables, namely Government Investment and Government Consumption. To identify it, an analysis was carried out using the linear regression method with the type of panel data. The regression results found that government investment has a very positive and significant effect with a siginfikansi level of 0.04 on the poverty level in Maluku while for the Government consumption variable, it also has a positive and significant effect of 0.03 on poverty.

When governments around the world engage in public policy-making, quite often, the public officials and policy-makers are faced with discreet opposition from non-government organisations trade unions and civil societies. The public policymakers usually go ahead with the implementation of the suggested policy. For example, in South Africa (SA), Child Support Grant (CSG) was implemented in an attempt to alleviate poverty. This can be attributed to many factors, such as urgency in addressing the poverty gap in society and lack of interest from the members of the public in public policy-making. Based on capability and social security approach/strategy and rational approach, this study explores an outcomes-based evaluation of the CSG policy and its relationship with poverty alleviation in Mamelodi Township, Gauteng Province, SA. The empirical results indicate that there is a linkage or relationship between the reduction of poverty levels and the implementation of the CSG policy in Mamelodi Town.

Full textAbstract:
Government subsidy is a common practice in poverty alleviation. We used game theory and the mathematical model of operations management to investigate the efficiency of subsidy with different poverty scales when the firm owns the decision power of the wholesale price. Comparative analysis of the equilibrium solutions demonstrated the following results: Exclusive subsidy has a significant effect on the payoff of the poor farmer, but the dilemma is that the increase in the payoff of the poor farmer is against the payoff decrease of the regular farmer. Sharing subsidy has a counterbalancing effect on the payoff of the poor and regular farmers. Co-subsidy is the best for consumer surplus and social welfare, but it has little effect on improving the poor farmer’s payoff. Generally, when the poor farmers are in the majority, sharing subsidies or co-subsidy is more reasonable than exclusive subsidy. When the poor farmers are in the minority, exclusive or sharing subsidies will be more economical for the government than co-subsidy. Our research helps the government recognize that spending more money may achieve a poor result in poverty alleviation and help the firm realize that it is better to give more subsidies to the poor farmer than to itself. The highlights of the paper are as follows. Firstly, our work provides a new perspective in supply chain operations management with poverty alleviation by considering the participation of the poor and regular farmers together; secondly, the poverty scale is introduced into the mathematical model; thirdly, we pay attention to the impact of government subsidy to enterprise on the payoff of the poor farmer.

Full textAbstract:
In the poverty alleviation supply chain, subsidies for enterprises or farmers are widely implemented as part of government policy. However, subsidy fraud often occurs, such as misreporting cost information to secure subsidies. Inspired by this, our study aims to explore the optimal decision-making problem of the three-level (government + enterprises + farmers) poverty alleviation supply chain under asymmetric cost information. Four-stage models are constructed to capture the interactions among these three players. Additionally, numerical examples are used to analyze the implications of key parameters, such as cost coefficient and punitive measures coefficient, on supply chain members’ optimal decision and profit. Our findings demonstrate that both the enterprise and the farmer can obtain maximum profit from the misreporting behavior. Unfortunately, this behavior always damages the profit of other participants and weakens the efficiency of subsidy policy. Moreover, to mitigate the negative implication of misreporting behavior, the government can establish punitive measures to curtail misreporting. Our work provides important policy implications for governments and enterprises. To ensure that more consumers have access to poverty alleviation products, government organizations should prioritize such projects. In addition, the provision of public facilities and technical guidance should be more effective and prompt to share enterprises’ and farmers’ costs. We further recommend that subsidy policies be formulated according to recipients’ performance in poverty alleviation projects, with corresponding supervision and punitive measures. Finally, in cooperating with farmers in poverty alleviation, enterprises should maximize their interests and reduce costs through technological innovation and channel sharing.

Poverty is a national problem that still cannot be solved by government until present. One of its causing factor is the inability of related policy to solve essential problems faced by poor society. As the result, there are many social programs which are expected to provide solution to poverty problem. Government Social Responsibility is an approach model in order to build relation toward harmonization between government and society, through effort of knowing and understanding problem that is faced by society directly, so it can be a reference in determining government policy that make closer between government action with public interest. The long-term purpose of this research is to get scientific information, teaching material, and as the guidance for handling social poverty problem. Moreover, this research especially aims to find a new model or concept and/or develop a model for handling poverty. The objects of this study are official bureaucracy or government and society in East Java Province. Through Government Social Responsibility program, it is expected to minimize discrepancy between government interest with society interest, and it is expected that government policy is more oriented to aspiration and broad society interest, so that social programs can be a right solution in effort to overcome poverty.

Village funds is still a new fiscal policy that was initially launched in 2015 by the seventh president of Indonesia, “Joko Widodo”, as his pilot project. Some villages have significantly benefited from developments and improvements initiated by the policy. However, it also has been identified through various investigative analysis that not all village funds allocations transferred to local governments have been implemented effectively and efficiently. This research examines the relationship between the village funds allocations and poverty alleviation in Aceh province, Indonesia. Using a panel data model that provides random-effects estimations, it concludes the village funds allocations from the period of 2015 to 2018 cannot reduce the poverty rate in 23 regencies/municipalities in Aceh. Fiscal variables, government expenditure and government own revenue have also shown a positive relationship with the poverty rate. Furthermore, with fixed-effects estimation, village funds allocations also show the same result of its relationship with the number of people living in poverty. Meanwhile, one fiscal variable, GDRP has a negative and significant relationship with the number of people living in poverty. Some social variables, such as education and population have also had significant and negative effects on the poverty rate and the number of people living in poverty.

The paper examines the people’s perceptions of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) participation in policy implementation on poverty reduction: A comparative analysis of Nigeria and Ghana. This interrogation is necessary in order to improve the performance of CSOs and participate in the poverty reduction policies in Nigeria by borrowing a leave from Ghana. For proper analysis, key informant interview was carried out and relevant literatures were also reviewed. The paper revealed that efforts have been made by the CSOs to influence government policies on poverty reduction in Nigeria and Ghana for the benefit of the people but Ghana has made more progress. Despite poverty level has decreased in both countries; there is still much suffering in their rural areas. It is worst in Nigeria because of corruption, insurgencies and economic recession. The CSOs in both countries faced repressions and manipulation over the years. From 1990s Ghana CSOs enjoyed symbolic relationship with the state while its Nigeria counterpart struggle for space. The paper recommends that there is need for the governments in both countries to do more by ensuring CSOs participation in policy decisions on poverty reduction. The Nigeria government should borrow a leave from Ghana on building more relationship and partnership with CSOs on policies on poverty reduction. There should be collaborations and consultations between the government and the “major groups” at local levels on policy issues. The CSOs and the target beneficiary should be allowed to take joint ownership of policy decisions, processes and implementation to ensure accountability and transparency in order to reduce poverty in Nigeria and Ghana especially in their rural areas.

Indonesia is one of the developing countries with a fairly high poverty problem. In this problem, the government solves the main problem, namely poverty in the form of policy programs to meet the needs for the welfare of the community. With the high poverty rate, the Bojonegoro Regency Government provides a program as a sense of government concern for the people of Bojonegoro. This program is intended as a manifestation of the responsibility of local governments to improve community welfare equally. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of the implementation of the death benefit program in Bojonegoro Regency. This research uses a qualitative approach, where the data obtained comes from interviews, observations and documentation as the main source, while secondary data comes from relevant books and scientific articles.The result of this study is that the implementation of the death benefit program is still not fully running optimally. There are implications, especially in terms of socialization and changes in the system to online implementation of the program.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of the study is to experimentally investigate the link between economic development, wealth disparity, governmental integrity, and spending on eradicating poverty, in line with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 1, in twenty Muslim-majority countries. This study employs pooled OLS, fixed effects, and random effects in its static panel data model analysis. According to empirical research, government expenditure, government spending integrity, and economic growth all significantly affect the rate of poverty reduction. Additionally, inequality of income contributes to rising poverty in nations with Muslim majorities. This study supports the notion that governments promote increasing per capita income in order to achieve economic growth, even though population growth has no bearing on the eradication of poverty. In fact, the two most crucial policy recommendations for the government are to carry out its duties as a government of integrity and distribute funds to sectors necessary for economic and social development, such as infrastructure, health, and education. To ensure fair economic distribution in Muslim communities, governments must also maximize the capacity of Islamic social funds such as zakat and waqf.

Poverty rate in Indonesia is currently relatively high that requires real action from the government to reduce it. The government efforts to reduce the poverty rate are reflected in the government expenditure. This research reveals the regional government expenditure effectiveness in reducing poverty and unemployment rate in South Sulawesi Province. Data used in the research are panel data, which is a combination of cross-section data of 24 regencies and city and time series data in 2009-2018. The data will be analyzed using econometric models with simultaneous equation system. The research finds that private investment has a significant influence in reducing poverty rate, whereas capital expenditure has a significant influence in increasing private investment. Moreover, investment has a significant influence in improving gross regional domestic product in industrial sector as well as other sectors. Population has a positive influence in improving poverty rate indicating that regional government should support the planned family policy. The result of policy simulation indicates that an increase in capital expenditure, total government expenditure, and goods and services expenditure by the regional government, brings positive impact on economic growth and poverty reduction.

Full textAbstract:
The Scottish National Party led Scottish Government has identified household poverty as a key focus for its anti-poverty strategy. The government's ‘Solidarity Target’ seeks to both increase wealth and increase the share of total income gained by the bottom three deciles. The ability to demonstrate the advantages of policy divergence within Scotland, relative to the other parts of the United Kingdom, is central to the government's aim of gaining support for increased powers for the devolved government. This paper seeks to provide evidence on one aspect of the government's anti-poverty strategy: the degree to which Scotland differs from the rest of the UK over levels of entrenched poverty. The paper demonstrates that not only does Scotland have greater entrenched poverty but that the changes in mobility since the 1990s have impacted on Scotland to a lesser degree than the rest of the UK.

This study was qualitative research that produced descriptive data. The research took place in Mataram City, Nusa Tenggara Barat Province, Indonesia. We chose Mataram City due to the area's high number of poor communities. Data has been collected from informants and various documents. Findings confirmed that problems in policy implementation related to communication, resources, disposition/attitude, and bureaucracy structures. The programs of the central government mainly provided social assistance instead of poor community education. There was limited communication between implementers. Community and policy implementers did not have adequate knowledge of policy reduction policy, such as poverty's cause, impact, and countermeasures. The regional government relied on the central government's funding. The lack of facilities during policy implementation caused a low disposition/attitude. The bureaucracy did not implement community empowerment and encouraged independence in the poor urban community. The Edward III Model was proposed to solve the problems. The Mataram City government must collaborate with the central government, community, and business sectors. It also needs to pay attention to planning a poverty reduction policy, involves stakeholders in the planning, and establish an agency or technical institution specializing in community empowerment. Involving stakeholders, including the community, will help understand socio-cultural factors such as habits, customs, and local wisdom to make them feel like the subject of the policy, not the object. The bureaucracy structure may be utilized to achieve such involvement to promote community independence.

Full textAbstract:
Half-level unemployment refers to individuals who work part-time and are not fully employed. Increasing the half-poverty rate from year to year can lead to challenges in the lives of these individuals. The issue arising with the rise in the half-poverty rate is the government's difficulty in prioritizing areas that require intervention to address these problems. Consequently, an increase in the half-poverty rate can have adverse consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to categorize underemployment rate data obtained from public sources, specifically from data.go.id, using the widely recognized clustering method known as K-Means. The purpose of this categorization is to identify and classify provinces with a significant prevalence of half-poverty levels. This classification will assist the government in making informed decisions when addressing individuals who meet the half-poverty criteria. The results were obtained by grouping the data from the first to the eighteenth iteration into three categories: 'large' (C1), 'medium' (C2), and 'small' (C3) in terms of half-poverty levels. Group C1 comprises 17 provinces with a high half-poverty rate, while C2 includes only 2 provinces, and C3 covers 16 provinces with a significant half-poverty rate. Based on these findings, it is advisable for the Indonesian government to consider implementing policies aimed at reducing the poverty level by half. Priority should especially be given to the C1 group when creating employment opportunities for the province's residents

Poverty and social welfare issues show an increase over time, both in the number, and the quality. On the other hand, the policy responses to social welfare issues from various parties are not sufficient to tackle those problems. This study aims to describe poverty and policy of West Java Provincial Government in poverty alleviation. The research is expected to contribute to the improvement of policy in poverty alleviation and affect the condition of West Java society to be more prosperous. The research design is Qualitative Descriptive. The informants are several Civil State Apparatuses who are capable to represent Regional Work Unit/ Organization at the provincial level. Data Collecting Techniques consist of interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation studies. Data Validation is done using triangulation between data sources and techniques. The results showed that West Java's economy grew on average above 5%, while the average poverty reduction rate was only 0.46% per year. These conditions have an impact on the increased number of people who are below the poverty threshold and also affect the index of depth and severity of poverty. The situation is similar for other social welfare issues, such as socio-economic vulnerable groups, homeless, beggars, and scavengers, neglected elderly, and children who need social protection. To overcome those problems, several policies have been prepared. The obstacle is, social welfare planning and policy are often only viewed as a complement to development planning and policy framework when they should be considered as an integrative, priority and substantive element that must be implemented. Various regulations and policies on poverty alleviation and other social welfare issues are still limited. Regulation at the central level is sufficient, but local governments have not been fully able to describe and operationalize it with various rules, either at the level of Regional Regulation, Governor Regulation, Mayor Regulation, or Regent Regulation. Legislation regulation and poverty alleviation are government’s (central and local) full responsibility, so coordination and a common commitment are needed to address poverty and increase equity. West Java Provincial Policy needs to prioritize efforts to increase funding through funding synergies with central and district / city governments in order to finance more comprehensive and broader poverty reduction programs.

Economic dualism in South Africa has mutated from the original modem vs. traditional sector conception to one of poverty vs. non-poverty. Globalisation provides opportunities to reduce poverty, but government policies determine the outcome. The South African government's sound macroeconomic policies have not been matched on the micro side. The labour market has not been liberalised, employers are loath to increase staff numbers, and foreign investment in labour-intensive industries is not being attracted. The policy choice is one of lower real wages and more jobs or higher real wages and fewer jobs. The unemployed and those in absolute poverty would opt for the former, unionised labour for the latter. Policy reforms will be politically difficult, but without them the dual economy will persist.

The discussion in this article will attempt to establish the general pattern of demographic structural change in Peninsular Malaysia and its constituent regions, and to examine the extent to which government policy (restructuring population and decreasing poverty) has influenced the pattern of regional inequalities in Peninsular Malaysia. Although rural-to-urban migration has contributed to decreasing poverty and income distribution, it has also had side effects for the urban and rural population. In the urban areas, these include urban poverty, housing problems and a high influx of foreign workers; in the rural areas, they include an increased dependency ratio, greater gender inequality, increased poverty and abandoned housing.

The purpose of this article is to examine the effects of the Indonesian government's oil fuel price policy on the nation's poverty rate. This study investigates how variations in oil fuel costs affect the population's ability to make purchases, particularly those who are below the poverty line. It does so by using secondary data from a variety of sources and quantitative analysis techniques. According to the study's findings, the oil industry's gasoline pricing strategy significantly affects the poverty rate because rising fuel costs tend to make people poorer. According to this article, the government should think about the socioeconomic repercussions of its energy policy and look for ways to lessen the effects of rising fuel prices. The study adds to the body of knowledge on energy and poverty policies in Indonesia by offering new insights into the relationship between energy policy and poverty.

Purpose Rural energy policy is a critical measure to fight the long-standing poverty issue in China. Energy poverty, per se, is one important yet too often neglected dimension of poverty, and one of the biggest challenges in rural China during the 40-year rural reform. Reducing energy poverty is one of the poverty alleviation tasks and the goals of energy transition in the rural areas. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the status of energy poverty in China, discussing the challenges of energy poverty reduction, and then proposing the potential measures. Design/methodology/approach Using various data (including the authors’ survey data), this paper analyzes the volume and structure of energy use, and affordability of energy for the rural households, then examines the impacts of energy poverty on health, social and productivity, and finally discusses the infrastructure, cognitive ability, culture, income, etc., that shape the challenges to energy poverty reduction. Findings In addition to raising the household income, it is urgently needed to enforce the collaborations among government departments, and to improve the energy infrastructure according to local conditions, helping the residential environment cognition. Originality/value Energy poverty is almost a too often neglected issue in rural China. Few in existing literature comprehensively investigate this critically important social economic problem. This paper contributes to the profound understanding in energy poverty and the possible approaches to alleviate it.

Poverty alleviation has continuously become one of the main concerns of the socio-economic policy worldwide. This crucial phenomenon is bounded on necessity toward monetary and comprehends by social, economic, political, and physiological aspects. In Malaysia, although the New Economic Policy in 1971 has succeeded in reducing the country's poverty incident, poverty's pocket continues to exist with high incidences of poverty among specific ethnic groups and localities. For instance, rural poverty among the Iban community in Sarawak has occurred since Malaysian independence. Therefore, this paper examines the rural residents' perceptions of the State's role in poverty alleviation in Sarawak using a qualitative approach. Findings revealed that although the government has various programs to alleviate poverty, the social assistance related to poverty was not efficiently distributed in Sarawak's rural areas. This study also revealed that a lack of social infrastructures, such as road accessibility, has significantly influenced social assistance's efficiency distribution in rural areas.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of Infrastructure on economy and poverty, and to analyze government policies to find infrastructure government initiatives for poverty alleviation in Indonesia towards Sustainable Development. A mixed research method was adopted, by combining quantitative and qualitative research, with a sequential explanatory design, used a hypothesis testing method which explains the effect of the independent variable (Infrastructure), on the dependent variable (Poverty Alleviation), with Economic performance as a mediating variable, and Government Policy as a moderating variable, then a qualitative approach by content analysis on mapping Central Government Policies related to Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia. We found that infrastructure has a significant effect on the economy, economy mediates the effect of Infrastructure on poverty alleviation, and Government Policy does not moderate the effect of Infrastructure on poverty alleviation. Based on these findings, it is recommended that in efforts to poverty alleviation, the government should focus on making regulations that are more effective and efficient, good management and intensive collaboration across ministries/agencies, increasing the competence of human resources and the local community, as well as being in sync with improving the community's economy. The impact of (physical) infrastructure development on poverty alleviation will be more significantly if it is combined by social and economic development

In Papua Province, poverty has become an important problem common in other regions in Indonesia and worldwide, especially in developing countries. The Millennium Development Goals targets have pushed the Indonesian government to emphasize poverty reduction programs throughout Indonesia. Rural areas in Papua, particularly villages, have been the target point for the poverty alleviation program because many in rural areas experience poverty that is worse than urban areas. Rural development is considered an effective method for poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the development program as a whole has neglected rural communities. In Papua Province, poverty reduction programs have been implemented ineffectively due to part of the village development program, the top-down approach of the government, and the absence of competent resources. So far, village development policies have been implemented without considering village potential, spatial arrangements, holistic approaches, and lack of budget allocations. In addition, the role of village government shows an ineffective performance. Thus, this study aspires to identify how much influence communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure have on poverty reduction in Papua Province. This study indicates that communication, resources, dispositions, and bureaucratic structures affect village development policies and influence poverty reduction in Papua Province. This research also shows that the lower the performance of the implementation of village development policies indicated by four variables, the less effective it is in poverty alleviation in Papua Province. In this study, a novelty that previous researchers have not found has been found, namely; that in the effectiveness of poverty reduction, it is necessary to develop an effective communication so that program implementation can run optimally, and it needs to be supported by the character or behavior of the implementers of the village development program.

Poverty is the main problem in a country both in developing countries to the developed countries, both in structural poverty, cultural and natural. That is, poverty is no longer seen as a measure of the failure of the Government to protect and fulfill the fundamental rights of its citizens but as a challenge of the nation to realize a fair society, prosperous and dignified sovereign. Various efforts have been made in determining government policy measures in an effort to overcome poverty, one of them by conducting a survey to assess the poor. The results of the survey of the various activities of the organization obtained a variety of database versions poverty to areas or locations. The information generated from the poverty database only includes recapitulation of poor people to the area or location. One step is to process the data on poverty in a process of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) to form a data mining poverty. Data mining is a logical combination of knowledge of data, and statistical analysis developed in the knowledge business or a process that uses statistical techniques, mathematics, artificial intelligence, artificial and machine-learning to extract and identify useful information for the relevant knowledge from various large databases.

Poverty is still one of the forefront issues in developing countries. It could hamper the achievement ofsustainable development goals, thereby triggering a recurring call on the government's role in mitigatingpoverty. This paper contributed to the debate on the role of sectoral government spending under thefiscal decentralization policy to combat poverty. Using a case study in South Kalimantan Province, weemployed a spatial panel data analysis covering 13 districts from 2010-2020. This study investigated thepresence of spatial dependency on poverty and the spatial spillover impact of government expenditure—education, health, housing, public facilities, and social protection—on poverty. The research found theexistence of spatial autocorrelation on poverty and the significant high-cluster poverty in the agriculture-based region. The direct estimation from the Spatial Durbin Model uncovered that governmentexpenditure on education, health, and social protection significantly alleviated poverty, while housing andpublic facilities expenditure remained insignificant in reducing the poverty rate. Besides, educationspending also has a significant indirect effect on poverty, indicating the spatial spillover impact ofeducation spending by the neighbors on poverty in a region.

Full textAbstract:
Canada admits more than 220 000 immigrants every year and this is reflected in the statistic that 18% of the population was born abroad (Beiser, 2005). However, government policy emphasises the admission of healthy immigrants rather than their subsequent health. Immigrants do not show a consistently elevated rate of psychiatric illness, and morbidity is related to an interaction between predisposition and socio-environmental factors, rather than immigrationper se. These factors include forced migration and circumstances after arrival, such as poverty, limited recognition of qualifications, discrimination and isolation from the immigrant's own community. For instance, in Canada more than 30% of immigrant families live below the official poverty line in the first 10 years of settlement (Beiser, 2005).

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of growth and distribution on poverty change as well as to analyse whether expenditure growth has given the benefits to the poor and non-poor in urban and rural area. The data used are raw data from total household consumption obtained from National Socio-Economic Survey for the period of 2009 to 2016. Poverty decomposition is used to see the effect of income growth and distribution on the poverty change. Furthermore, Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR) supported by Growth Incidence Curve (GIC) is used to determine whether the benefit of economic growth is enjoyed more by the poor compared to pro-poor growth or not. The results show that income growth influences the decrease in poverty both in rural and urban area in Indonesia, during 2009-2016, 2009-2014 and 2014-2016. Conversely, the distribution of income increases the poverty in both areas during the periods. Inequality of income seems to give a strong influence so that the economic growth has not been a pro-poor both in rural and urban area of Indonesia during 2009-2016, 2009-2014 and 2009-2016.

Full textAbstract:
This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted impact of government interventions on household poverty in Uganda, a nation grappling with socio-economic challenges. Through an in-depth analysis of diverse policies and programs implemented by the Ugandan government, this study examines their efficacy in alleviating poverty and enhancing the overall well-being of households. Drawing upon a wide array of scholarly articles, policy documents, and empirical studies, the research assesses the effectiveness of interventions such as social welfare programs, economic programs, pro-poor programs and educational reforms. The review delves into the intricate interplay between these government interventions and household poverty dynamics, considering factors like income disparity, access to education, healthcare services, and employment opportunities. By synthesizing existing literature, this study elucidates the successes and shortcomings of various strategies, shedding light on the key determinants of their effectiveness. Additionally, it analyzes the role of governance, accountability mechanisms, and resource allocation in shaping the outcomes of poverty-alleviation initiatives. Hence, this review critically examines the challenges faced by marginalized households in accessing and benefiting from government interventions, highlighting areas that require targeted policy reforms and targeted interventions. By identifying gaps in existing research and policy frameworks, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners, aiming to inform evidence-based decision-making processes. Ultimately, this review contributes to the ongoing discourse on poverty reduction strategies in Uganda and offers recommendations for enhancing the impact of government interventions on vulnerable households, thereby fostering sustainable socio-economic development in the region.

This article explores Labour’s record on poverty and social justice since 1997. Poverty rates have fallen, but not for everyone on low incomes. And while fiscal policy has introduced a greater egalitarianism into public policy, British society remains as divided by income as it was when Labour took office. Critics continue to argue that more must be done to narrow the gap between rich and poor in the name of social justice. But the government’s record reflects the balance of priorities between a market-led strategy for growth and welfare policies for social justice in New Labour’s post-Thatcherite social democratic politics.
