Poverty And Unemployment Becomes Prabowo-Gibran's PR

President and vice president elected Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming (Between)

JAKARTA - UGM academic, Nurhadi revealed that poverty alleviation and unemployment will be a challenge as well as homework for the governments of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka.

According to data, this poverty rate is around nine percent or around 25 million. That's a large number for Indonesia's size," he said, Sunday, October 20, 2024.

Therefore, reducing the poverty rate by nine percent is a homework that must be faced by the Prabowo-Gibran government, including preventing groups with the category of vulnerable poor from going down to class.

This group (victims) is not included in the nine percent number. However, it is very possible because of the economic shocks and so on, they will fall into a poor group. This must also be considered by the next government," added Nurhadi.

He considered that reducing poverty, including the extreme, was Prabowo's tough task. However, efforts to downstream natural resources so that people can enjoy it, which is one of Prabowo's programs, can be a solution.

"If the program can run, in the next five years this poverty rate could be reduced, even eliminating extreme poverty," said Nurhadi.
