POVERTY BECOME A SOCIAL PROBLEM THAT HAPPENED IN THE COMMUNITY

Abstract

Poverty is a phenomenon that occurs almost in all developing countries. Poverty arose because of the inability of some people to organize their lives to a certain degree considered humane. This condition causes a decline in the quality of human resources so that productivity and income are low. Circle poverty continues to occur, because those with low income are unable to access education funds, health, and nutrition properly as to cause the quality of human resources from an intellectual aspect and low physical, resulting in low productivity. Economic development carried out since independence has significantly managed to reduce the number and proportion of poor people in Indonesia. However exposed to the monetary crisis which continued into a crisis the economy led to another economic down turn raised the number and proportion of poor people almost half of Indonesia's population. Whatever the cause, the problem of poverty remains a big problem that needs attention and concrete action through the implementation of good programs that are rescue, empowerment and facilitation.
