Social Issue in Indonesia : Poverty

Hello guys! Today, we’re gonna tell you about social issue in Indonesia. Indonesia is a developing country with a lot of social issues, like unemployment, corruption, poorness(poverty), racism, social inequality,  crime, etc. But, we’re going to tell you about poverty issue in Indonesia.

Poverty is a situation where there is an inability to fulfill basic needs like food, clothes, a shelter place, education and health. This is actually a global issue.  But, some countries have been able to reduce poverty in their countries, as mimimum as possible. But, the rate of poverty in Indonesia has reached 14.15%  of  the total population in Indonesia. Of course, this is not only surprising us, but also making us worry. Because Indonesia is a country with so many natural resources so it just don’t make a sense why there are so many poor people in Indonesia.

Poverty in Indonesia is caused by:

1.     Corruption

Someone is called a corruptor (person who do corruption) when he takes money or something that is not his. Well, this word is mostly used for public servant who takes country’s fund. Corruption that is done by public servant in Indonesia makes Indonesia’s poor citizen can’t be helped by the country.

2.     Criminalization

Actually, this one is complicated. Criminalization can be done by poor people to fulfill their daily needs but this can be done by lazy people who don’t want to trouble theirself with work. Not only that, unemployment can also do this for some reasons, like they are desperate because they can’t find any job even though they have no more money to fulfill their needs.

3.     Unemployment

There are a lot of people in Indonesia who still remain unemploy because of so many reasons. This might be because there are not enough job opportunities in Indonesia, their low level of education, etc.

4.     Low work motivation

5.     The low quality of natural resources

6.     The distribution of income is uneven

7.     The low level of education, etc.

We have find the solution as fast as possible and we have to help each other so we can reduce the poverty in Indonesia. The government should help to. The government has to be firm with the corruptor, they have to be given a very heavy punishment. The government and us, we all have to help each other to give more education to the ones who need, to help them get a better medical support, etc. Because, they need us, they need our help, they are hungry, they are sick, they are cold, they are lonely.
