About the seminar
Amid Indonesia’s remarkable progress in poverty eradication, there has been recommendation that the country re-evaluate its poverty measures. Having reduced extreme poverty to below 2%, Indonesia can now turn to widen its focus especially to the poorest third of Indonesians, who remain economically insecure. This seminar explores Indonesia’s approach to poverty measurement, and the implications an improvement would have on the country’s poverty reduction policies and strategies.
