| Summary: | Abstract
The controversy between growth versus equity and poverty reduction is
a classic one, which has assumed more relevance in line with global pressure
that underlines poverty alleviation as top priority development goal of this
millennium. The issue of poverty has been a major government concern
right from the beginning of the New Order regime. However, despite
registering high economic growth rates, low Gini index and the reduction
ofpeople living underpoverty, Indonesia continues to face structural problems such as serious asset inequalities, the inability qf the poor to fulfill their basic
needs, and environmental degradation, a direct consequence of pro-growth
development efforts. This paper proposes to a redefinition of main development
agenda to encompass policies that encourage income distribution as well as
urge the state to give more serious commitment to fulfilling the basic needs of
the poor. |
