Multidimensional Poverty in Indonesia: Trend Over the Last Decade (2003–2013)

Abstract

The notion of poverty as an experience of multiple deprivation has been widely acknowledged. In Indonesia, however, poverty assessment has almost exclusively been conducted within the monetary space; even when multidimensionality is admitted, it has always been computed using variants of marginal method that are indifferent to joint deprivation. Applying a novel measurement method that is sensitive to both the incidence and the intensity of multiple deprivation to data from the National Socio-economic Survey (Susenas), this paper investigates the extent and the patterns of multidimensional poverty in Indonesia from 2003 to 2013 (). An Indonesian version of the multidimensional poverty index is constructed by augmenting the existing consumption poverty measure with information on health and education. Results suggest that there was an unambiguous poverty reduction over the last decade at both national and sub-national levels. The data also reveal that progress has been inclusive across population subgroups, although spatial variation remains notable. The new poverty measurement method proves to be easily adaptable to the Indonesian context and could complement the methods currently employed by the Indonesian Statistical Bureau.

Multidimensional Poverty in Pakistan: A Policy Perspective

“…Various empirical analyses have employed varying indicators and dimensions to quantify MDPT (like Sahn and Stifel 2000;Mohanty 2011; than various recent studies Batana 2013;Yu, 2013;Santos 2013;Battiston et al 2013;Hanandita and Tampubolon 2015;and finally Angulo et al 2016). A systematic review and numerous methods have been developed for estimating MDPT (e.g., Alkire and Foster 2008;Mishra and Ray 2013;Dehury and Mohanty 2015).…”

“…Some papers highlight that poverty has several dimensions aspects and causes (Chaudhry et al, 2009;Hanandita & Tampubolon, 2016;Kis-Katos & Sparrow, 2013;Miranti et al, 2013). Based on these research, the poverty may arise as consequences of economic and noneconomic turbulence.…”

“…In recent years, the local governments in Indonesia have committed to arranging a longterm plan for some policies, regulations, and programme regarding poverty reduction (Hanandita & Tampubolon 2016). However, many factors may affect local government capacity toward policy formulation regarding poverty reduction.…”
