Multidimensional Approach to Poverty Measurement in Indonesia
2014
Poverty is multidimensional phenomenon. The poverty measurement that based on consumption level is insufficient in explaining the multiple deprivations faced by poor. Applying Alkire & Foster’s multidimensional methodology framework by utilizing the National Socio Economic Survey Indonesia data (2011), this study confirmed that the monetary measure of poverty should be complemented with multidimensional poverty measure to capture comprehensive picture of deprivation in Indonesia. Around 62.3% of populations that monetary poverty measurement declares them as non-poor are multidimensional poor. Using the logit and ordered logit model, this study also confirmed that a higher educational attainment of household head leads to a higher probability of being non-poor both in monetary and multidimensional poverty. The paper identifies that health is the major source of multidimensional poverty. Universal health insurance program is needed. Human investment is very important in efforts to red...

Multidimensional Poverty in Indonesia 1993-2007
Most of the remaining unresolved issues in poverty analysis are related directly or indirectly to the multidimensional nature and dynamics of poverty . Analysis on multidimensional poverty has occupied much attention of economists and policymakers, particularly since the writing of (Sen, 1976) and the rising of data availability for relevant research purpose. A significant development for research has been the improvement in constructing a coherent framework for measuring poverty in multidimensional environment analogously to the set of techniques developed in one-dimension space. Multidimensional measures provide another insight into particular elements of poverty that is useful and relevant to poverty interventions.

This study is a consolidation of Participatory Poverty Assessments (PPAs) and similar studies which were carried out in 79 locations in Indonesia. These PPA/PPA-like studies were conducted by several organizations between 1999 and 2003. The aim of this study is to enrich the understanding of poverty, by providing an analysis based upon the perspective of the poor, and provide input for the formulation of the National Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP). The analysis in this study encompasses community perspectives of: the characteristics of poverty, the causes and problems of poverty, the solutions to poverty, the impact of poverty and the poor's coping strategies, the role of several institutions, and the effectiveness of poverty reduction programs.

Multidimensional Poverty Index in Agricultural Households in Indonesia.pdf
POVERTY AND SOCIAL PROTECTION CONFERENCE , 2016
Poverty is one of the central issues in the development program of Indonesia. In 2014, more than 27 million people in Indonesia live in poverty and over than 60 per cent of them lived in rural areas which heavily rely on the agriculture sector as their livelihood (BPS-Statistics Indonesia, 2014). This fact confirms that poverty eradication in agriculture is the key factor in reducing poverty in Indonesia. Data and information about poverty are really needed in the fight against poverty. However, the formal poverty data that available counts only direct monetary income and neglects other qualitative dimensions of poverty like health and education. Therefore, researchers are interested in measuring the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) in an agricultural household in Indonesia. This research used secondary data from the latest 2014 National Social Economic Survey of Indonesia (SUSENAS 2014). The total number of sample in this research was 285,400 household. The measurement of MPI was conducted exploratory by factor analysis. Data was entered and analyzed by using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) computer program. The analysis was performed on the 33 provinces in Indonesia. Based on the result of the analysis, we found that, in term of multidimensional poverty, poverty in Indonesia is also an agricultural phenomenon. Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) in an agricultural household in Indonesia was 0.30 and much higher than MPI in a non-agriculture sector that was only 0.11. More than 60 per cent of people in the agricultural household were considered as poor multidimensionality. The intensity of poverty in agriculture household was 0.50. It is also much higher than the intensity of poverty in non-agricultural sector and intensity of poverty in total that was 0.45 and 0.48, respectively. Therefore, we conclude that any effort to address poverty must consider the central place of agriculture in Indonesia. Besides, poverty reduction must not only focus on improving the income of farmers but also on boosting the capability (level of health and education) of poor people.
