How to eliminate poverty in Indonesia?
I think education is the main key. I have travelled to USA, UK, Germany, Japan, and Singapore and the youths there are not like what MTV or National Lampoon showed us... Many of them are so dilligent and serious in study, although many are not too. Compared to students in Indonesia, the students are competing seriously each other - our students protested for the UN, but the students there consider exams as challenges.

Okay. First of all, why would you depend on stupid things like MTV or National Lampoon show? Okay. MTV is for music stuff and most of National Lampoon is porn stuff. Japan is totally into their studies and some of the smartest people are there. Ever wonder how Toyota came? On something like National Lampoon it seems like the Japanese are really dirty whores- their disgusting videos from what I've heard. Okay. Back to Indonesia. Then why don't you do something about it? What can YOU do? Think yourself. Third, if you're asking what you can do to eliminate poverty, first think common sense. Sure it seems like a good thing to eliminate poverty, but you can't kill it all. You can help brush poverty away by doing something to help one town or place at a time. Not eliminate. Make a program or something that teaches people to be able to live without begging or something.

i think the first thing that could eliminate the poverty in indonesia is STOP THE CORRUPTION, im so sick of the corruption of my own country, makes me don`t want to live there anymore. Last time i went to get some paperwork in health department there, they really make it hard for me, just because all of their employee wants me to bribe them with money to make things go smooth. After i gave them some money and some food, then things go smoother. Second is education and I really agree on that. Despite the poverty in there ALOT of Indonesian people have a good opportunity to go study abroad. These people when they go back to Indonesia can help the situation. The chance is alot of them will never go back to Indonesia.

First thing first, Abolish Corruption is the most significant step to eliminate poverty. Indonesian government needs to learn how to maintain their funds and distribute money and welfare to the people equally so that poverty will soon be diminish.

Totally agreed with the above 2, corruption is the main factor that's contributing to the situation of poverty in Indonesia. Tackle this problem first before thinking of others. BTW, eliminating Muslim will not help but only make matter worse.

Yah, saya stuju. Cara pandang siswa tentang pendidikan masih salah. Untuk ngerubahnya harus dimulai dari guru. Tapi ga semua siswa kayak gitu. Banyak sekolah berkualitas yang lebih baik dari luar negri.

Have more foreign investment.

Repair Indonesian morale first...! Stop corruption! Stop talks craps without action... Indonesia is rich country, we have many foreign investment now... Look our IHSG is almost increasing everyday... So where is all money right now...? why with so many capital entering Indonesia is not described with infrastructure's development in Indonesia? I think it goes to politician pocket... So... stop corruption is the key.... And for our representer in DPR/MPR, please shut up your mouth if you dont have any action...

Having education backgrounds in pure math (stats) and engineering, I will approach this problem in a more analytical way than what have been proposed. Suppose a country has nine citizens: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I. If A, B, and C have incomes of 100 per year, D has 90, E and F have 50, H has 30 and I has 20, then total income is 540, average income is 60 and the poverty line is 30 if calculated as 50 per cent of average, or 36 if calculated as 60 per cent of average. Suppose a wealthy foreign investor come to the country (such as Bill Gates) in the following year. He has an income of 500. He employs H and I for an extra 20 per year (more than they were getting before). The result is: Bill Gates 460, A, B and C 100 each, D has 90, E and F have 50, H now also has 50 and I has 40. So everyone is out of the poverty level of the year before. Sounds great, right? Yes, it works!!! Wait a minute. This is where the relativism kick in. The new poverty line is 52 or 57.2 (depending on the 50 or 60 percent definition). So Bill Gates has not only 'failed' to lift H and I out of poverty by giving them jobs that paid better, he has impoverished E and F, who were previously not poor, even though neither E nor F has lost any income! So, what have we learned? To tackle poverty, perhaps the best way is to reduce or even eliminate foreign investments, and start to rely on readily available native intellectual talents. By no means I am advocating to confront foreigners in Indonesia, but please, if you are citizens of Indonesia, do yourself a favor and think this hard: why do you need foreign companies (such as Freeport) to extract, control, and dominate your very OWN natural resources? PS: Executing all elderly people aged over 60 who live alone on less than average household incomes would statistically eliminate poverty- either they would be dead, or more likely they would choose to live in groups of two or three and therefore rise towards average household income levels. Getting rid of all students would have also similar effect. This may appear insanely evil. But believe it or not, certain Eastern European countries have done this approach. As well, I just described essentially the policies of Pol Pot’s Cambodian holocaust in eliminating poverty.

you are right. education. but the problem in Indonesia, the educated tends to rob the people of Indonesia. Educated people is everywhere in Indonesia, in government, business sectors etc. But they are also corrupt and tricky. So i guess the key is government. We should have Stable, Clean and Strong Government. Look at USA and Japan for instance.... are the people there so specials? the youngsters doesn't take drugs? but because the elite group in Government, successfully determine the way to becoming very good nation.

To me job opportunity is one of the key. Cos you are talking about poverty,just build a factory there and start giving the people something to do.If the parents can earn income,the children can go school and be educated. They do not have the means to educate themselves!
