If this reduction in numbers is the result of interventions from programs related to poverty reduction from various sectors in rural areas, then it can be said that program interventions related to rural poverty reduction have succeeded in reducing poverty rates in rural areas.
However, rural poverty rates are still higher than urban areas, so it is necessary to integrate well-targeted sectoral programs to support the accelerated reduction in rural poverty rates.
POVERTY PROBLEMS :
1. Failure to Fulfill Basic Rights
Limited food adequacy and quality, meeting adequate food needs and meeting nutritional requirements is still a problem for poor people, low people's purchasing power is a problem for poor people.
2. Limited Access and Low Quality of Education Services
Education development is one of the important efforts in overcoming poverty. Various educational development efforts undertaken have significantly improved the level of education. It turns out that educational development has not been fully able to provide services evenly to all levels of society until there are still gaps between community groups, especially between rich and poor, between urban and rural areas.
3. Limited Job and Business Opportunities
Poor people generally face problems of limited job opportunities, limited business opportunities, weak protection for business assets, wage differences and weak job protection, especially for child workers and female workers such as domestic servants. Poor people have limited capital and lack skills and knowledge.
4. Limited Capital
From the existing reality, disadvantaged people are still faced with being powerless in obtaining capital in order to increase their ability to do business independently, meanwhile capital owners or banks are still not maximally providing people's business credit with terms that are not burdensome for less fortunate people.
