Employment, Living Standards, and Poverty in Contemporary Indonesia

Employment, Living Standards, and Poverty in Contemporary Indonesia Chris Manning Editor Sudarno Sumarto Editor mixed material bibliography Singapore ISEAS 2011 monographic en English Understanding the nexus between employment, living standards and poverty is a major challenge in Indonesia. Trends in poverty are heavily dependent on labour market opportunities and social spending in education and health. The question is how to create opportunities and spend money wisely - a subject of intense debate in Indonesia. The government has brought a renewed focus to poverty reduction since the end of the Asian financial crisis, especially under the current president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. This book shows how Indonesia is travelling with regard to employment, social policy and poverty. It identifies promising new directions for strategies to alleviate poverty, some of which are already showing results.
