STRATEGI PENGENTASAN KEMISKINAN : POTRET KEBERHASILAN PEMBANGUNAN

Abstract

Poverty means that someone or a family lives in deprivation according to
certain standards, inability in terms of physical criteria, minimum or no access
to get means to meet various needs for life, and minimum or no access to get
involved in policy making. Poverty is caused by inside and outside factors. The
inside factors are attitude and culture. Meanwhile, the outside factors are rooted
in situations where the state does not take side to those who are fragile and
marginalized, and also because in certain level the state maintain exploitative
and discriminative social values. Therefore, people-centered empowerment
should become the basis for the government for its poverty eradication policy.
