Poverty Reduction

Abdurrahman Syebubakar

Over the last couple of years Indonesia has made significant progress in reducing poverty, with the percentage of people living below the national poverty line falling from 19.14 percent of the total population in 2000 to 13.33 percent in 2010 and further to 11.66 percent in 2012.

But where do we stand now? The poverty story line changed in 2013.
