Agricultural Performance

Agriculture is the primary sector in many provinces in Indonesia. In fact, most of the rural communities work in the agricultural sector. Nevertheless, the poverty level in rural areas remains high. Therefore, this study was aimed at investigating the performance of the agricultural sector in reducing the rural poverty level in Indonesia, and to investigate factors that contribute as a determinant in reducing rural poverty level in Indonesia. This study was significant, considering that the result was to contribute to government policy evaluation in the agricultural sector, especially in reducing poverty in rural areas. This study used quantitative analysis through multiple regressions with data panel from 2014 to 2017 from 33 provinces in Indonesia. This study revealed that the increase of agricultural sector share and the widening of the income distribution had caused an increase in poor people in a rural area. This finding also revealed that the income distribution gap was a determinant to the severity of rural poverty. The growth in the agricultural sector to contribute toward the economy could reduce rural poverty level in Indonesia. Meanwhile, agricultural financing, economic growth, inflation, and the farmer exchange rate had not significantly contributed to reducing the poverty level.

The Impact

The main objective of this study is to quantify the marginal impacts of irrigation and selected input factors on spatial (across 14 states) and temporal (from 1970–1993) variation in the rural poverty level in India. The study uses the head count ratio measure (percent of population below the poverty line) of poverty to evaluate how the poverty level is affected by input factors: irrigation, adoption of HYVs, fertilizer application, rural literacy rate and rural road density. It was found that marginal (incremental) impacts of irrigation followed by the rural literacy rate were larger in explaining the variation of rural poverty level in India than those of other factor-inputs selected. The marginal impact of groundwater irrigation on poverty reduction was larger than that of canal irrigation, which is due to greater control in the application and widespread use of groundwater irrigation than of canal irrigation. Despite mixed findings about the impact of irrigation on poverty from past studies, we have found large-scale marginal impacts of irrigation on rural poverty in India. This quantitative information is expected to be useful for designing targeted poverty alleviation and rural development strategies that also enhance agricultural-productivity growth.

Poverty is one of the social problems that are complex and not easily overcome. Many of the programs organized by the government with the aim of improving social welfare and reduce poverty, both in rural and urban community. Poverty in the rural population is still relatively high, despite the many efforts made by the government and many who hope to reduce poverty. Many factors lead to or affecting rural poverty remains high. There is a new paradigm says that social capital has a relationship with poverty. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the level of poverty of the rural population, analyze the level of social capital, and analyze how the relationship between social capital and poverty level of the community. This research was supported quantitative qualitative data. The results of this study demonstrated an association between social capital with urban poverty. Key words: poverty, relationship, rural community, social capital====================================================ABSTRAK                                                                 Kemiskinan merupakan salah satu masalah sosial yang sangat kompleks dan tidak mudah penanggulangannya. Banyak program yang diselenggarakan oleh pemerintah dengan tujuan meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat dan mengurangi kemiskinan, baik dalam unit desa maupun kota. Kemiskinan pada masyarakat perdesaan masih tergolong  tinggi, walaupun telah banyak upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah dan banyak pihak yang harapannya dapat mengurangi penduduk miskin. Banyak faktor yang mengakibatkan atau mempengaruhi kemiskinan masyarakat perdesaan tetap tinggi. Ada sebuah paradigma baru yang mengatakan bahwa modal sosial memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan kemiskinan. Tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah menganalisis tingkat kemiskinan masyarakat perdesaan, menganalisis tingkat modal sosial, dan menganalisis bagaimana hubungan antara tingkat modal sosial dengan kemiskinan masyarakat tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif yang didukung data kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara modal sosial dengan kemiskinan masyarakat perdesaan.Kata kunci: hubungan, kemiskinan, masyarakat perdesaan, modal sosial

SummarySubject and purpose of work: This research was conducted to measure the influence of the Suramadu Bridge on the reduction of rural poverty and to determine the impact of production factors such as physical capital, natural capital, human capital and financial capital on poverty before and after the Suramadu Bridge began operating in Kabupaten Bangkalan.Materials and methods: This study adapted the model used by Nashwari et al (2017) which was analysed applying Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The data from Village Potential 2007 and 2017 was used in the research.Results: Many production factors in the village did not have a significant effect on the poverty reduction before the Suramadu Bridge began operating. After the Suramadu Bridge opened, it has had a significant negative impact on poverty. The number of farmers, rice fields, non-agricultural activities, superior products, skills facilities and credit facilities has a significant positive effect on the reduction of the poverty level.Conclusions: The existence of the Suramadu Bridge has increased the influence of production factors in the villages on the poverty reduction in Kabupaten Bangkalan.

The Relationship

What kind of economic development curtails clientelistic politics? Most of the literature addressing this relationship focuses narrowly on vote buying, resulting in theories that emphasize the importance of declining poverty rates and a growing middle class. This article employs a combination of ethnographic fieldwork and an expert survey to engage in a first-ever, more comprehensive comparative study of within-country variation of clientelistic politics. I find a pattern that poorly matches these dominant theories: Clientelism is perceived to be less intense in rural, poverty-prone Java, while scores are high in relatively wealthy yet state-dependent provincial capitals. On the basis of these findings, I develop an alternative perspective on the relationship between economic development and clientelism. Emphasizing the importance of societal constraints, I argue that the concentration of control over economic activities fosters clientelism because it stifles the public sphere and inhibits effective scrutiny and disciplining of politico-business elites.
