Social Policy in Reducing Poverty in Indonesia: A Systematic Literature Review

Ebriyani Ebriyani, Indri Oktaviani

Abstract


Poverty in Indonesia is a problem that requires social policies to overcome it. This study aims to determine the extent to which social policies can reduce poverty in Indonesia. The research method used is a systematic literature review (SLR) with the PRISMA approach to identify, filter, and analyze relevant research. The results show that social policies such as the Family Hope Program (PKH), fiscal decentralization, infrastructure development, and improved access to education and health services have had a positive impact on reducing poverty. However, these policies still face various challenges, such as inaccurate targeting of beneficiaries, lack of coordination between central and local governments, and limited access to basic services in remote areas. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of beneficiary data, strengthen coordination between agencies, increase investment in social infrastructure, and implement social inclusion-based policies so that people can be economically independent and it is hoped that social policies in Indonesia can be more effective in reducing poverty and improving community welfare equally.
