“…Poverty reduction strategies must refer to who and why poverty occurs to make sustainable development programs effective for community welfare (Gunawan et al, 2022). One approach used to measure poverty levels is the income approach (Sugiyarto et al, 2016).…”

This study aims to determine whether the role of the Agribusiness Microfinance Institution (LKM-A) has an actual or significant effect on the poverty of farmer households. By using various financial instruments, especially Indonesia's aspirations towards an inclusive financial system for everyone, especially in the agricultural sector, it is very important to examine the agribusiness microfinance institutions (LKM-A) to see how much impact they have on farming communities so they can get out of poverty status. This study used a mixed method with a sample using a purposive sampling method with a total sample of 52 divided into three growing seasons (MT I, MT-II, and MT III). The analytical method used the logit or logistic regression method with the variable of interest, namely access to LKM-A debtors and ten other control variables, which are divided into financing characteristics indicators, farming characteristics indicators, and household characteristics indicators as well as qualitative findings from field interviews with respondents. The results showed that 4 out of 11 variables have a negative effect (coefficient below 1), which means that they have a relationship to reduce the risk of being poor, namely the variable access to LKMA debtors, Bank debtor access; land area, and marital status. The results of this study showed that banks have a significant effect on reducing the risk of possible poverty levels, so the government needs to provide convenience for vulnerable people, especially farmers, to be able to access LKM-A and banks and increase financial inclusion.

“…High unemployment and the unavailability of extensive employment lead to low-income incomes that will lead to an increase in poverty (Arifuddin et al, 2023). Anticipation efforts need to be made as early as possible to prevent a spike in extreme poverty by investing in human development, such as education, health, nutrition, and social protection (Gunawan et al, 2022).…”

The success of development depicts economic growth. Nevertheless, it is pertinent to emphasize that a significant increase in economic growth may not eradicate poverty, unemployment, and health issues. The prevalence of poverty in Palembang City in 2021 was considerably elevated, amounting to 11.34 percent, while the unemployment rate has exhibited an upward trend, reaching 10.11 percent. Additionally, there was a decline in employment within the labor market, accompanied by a corresponding rise in the number of individuals actively seeking job opportunities. This study aims to examine the various elements contributing to poverty and unemployment and formulate an integrated and sustainable model for poverty reduction and lowering unemployment in urban areas. The data collection technique uses a concurrent mixed method through questionnaires distributed to the public by purposive random sampling of 215 informants and Focus Group Discussions with relevant stakeholders in Palembang City in November 2022. The results of the study found that four factors contribute to poverty in Palembang City: education level, economic growth, health, and labor force participation rate. The level of education is the most dominant factor that plays a role in the occurrence of poverty and unemployment in Palembang City. The strategy formulated is the provision of educational scholarship programs for poor families at the primary and secondary education levels through the utilization of operational costs. It can be concluded that education has a big role in reducing poverty and unemployment, so it is important to invest in education. Investment in education, including improved access and quality of education, can help address issues of poverty and unemployment by giving individuals better opportunities for decent work.
